 I had these some years ago. All out of a local shop and never been up. Still had the lead plugs where the screwholes were. The bottom left one had 2 chips. Unusual colour too. Had to sell late 90s early 2000s when I was rat skint. Also sold a mega Carrs tin sign. If only I had my time over again. I could have managed without food!

Green ones were certainly used in England. I had one green one off the front of a sweet shop in Sheffield, and one from a grocers in Essex! |

Pete, they went to Dave Huxtable. At least 10 years ago. Dave's in Virginia now so I guess they've been through several hands.
And no Al, I didn't invest the money wisely it was just to get by. I got made redundant back then, went back to the firm on a freelance basis, they went bankrupt owing me £2800. Which left me in the shite, which meant most of my collection went including the signs :( |

Hi Jez
That's the downside of being a collector - we all carry a mental list of signs we should never have sold, in my case like you, its quite a long list. Similarly, we all carry a list of signs we should have bought but didn't. The great thing is we haven't seen everything yet and who knows what might turn up next week.
Best Regards Richard |
