David, the guy that sold it to me doesn't collect signs. He found it at a local garage sale in Hobart, how come I can't find any garage sales like that?

Mick, there are plenty of Maori's that still get their faces tattooed in tribal designs. |

That is one cracker sign you have there, I have not seen one in such excellant condition before. Here is an earlier version of the sign from the same company, what a shame it's in such bad condition. The seller wanted $400 NZ for it.

I thought that you could cut the bottom half of the sign away, just above where it says insurance company and it would probably still look alright.
Mick, including freight, owes me AU$595. |
