I bought these 2 from Sweden.

The Göta sign is allready on my wall. Convex shape.

Not sure what I'm going to do with the Pirelli.

 

The Pirelli is from around 1936 - 1939. You might think it's from around 1955, but check out the tire-number and you'll see.

Did you spot the (Bugatti?) car (in yellow)?

In mint condition. Only 3 known.

The word Bilringar means "Tires". Surprise !

72 x 50 CM.

I don't want  to Pi$$ on your strawberries, but are you sure these are the real deal? Don't get me wrong, i'm all up for a mint sign, but these just don't look genuine?

Those swedes must have been very advanced to have Pirelli tyres like that on their tractors in the 30s...

Thanks for the support Al/Steve.

Yes, they are genuine. The Göta is in the 2 upper corners restored (small pieces) in the black and there is a small restoration in the lower right corner. Very well done if you ask me.

There are some fantastic foreign signs in the world. You just have to have an open mind for it. 

Here are some more examples.

Cheers Joe, you're a star. But deep down, I really think that you'll never ACTUALLY retire from those skips !!!
