Hi guys.

I have this old Cadbuy's sign and i can't seem to find anything on it anywhere. It is (as shown) in fairly poor condition but bursting with character! Anybody know what year this may have been from? Any and All infomation greatly appriciated!

Thanks

Hi Al.

Thanks for the reply. Interesting.

Would it be worth much?

Thanks

Hi OT,
I've not seen this one before. Al?? Have you?
Its got a lot of damage to be worth much, someone would give it a home as a wall filler.

Have posted a photo of a reasonable example of this sign.  It's made on iron not mild steel (quite heavy)!  It has a grey wash back, dates to about 1910.  It says, 'Cadbury Bournville England', which gives a clue to its age.
