I may well have posted an image of this place before or someone else has? This is a nice coffee house in Bristol. The inside is packed with old signage and other advertising, some much older than others.
Tried to take some photo's with me phone but the missus wasn't comfortable with me doing it so quality not great. I know nothing about signs so can't really tell what's rare or what ain't. Can't tell a repro for a genuine either, although I do know a modern interpretation of an old sign when I see one. These looked proper old. However, and without appearing to be politically incorrect, I think it has Indian owners and staffed by Indians, so these may be the good quality Indian repro's I sometimes see you guys mentioning shipped over to interestingly decorate the place?
Cheers..
Looks great Mark . Thanks for putting the pictures on . When Hogs Breath Cafe first opened in Australia , their locations had some great advertising displays similar to this ( I sold a fair bit to them back then ).
Sadly , over the many years since then the percentage of knock offs and repros on their walls has grown to such an extent that even with the small number of interesting originals , the over all feel of those places is tacky rather than nostalgic
