Lummox,
Wasn't it Chris that said even if you trod in a dog crap there'd be a £20 note stuck to your boot.
Also was with you in Belgium when you literally found gold! |

Not an enamel, but this huge mirror was my best advertising buy. Great condition, weighs an absolute ton. £99 including commission ! By the way it's not transparent, just a reflection of the opposite wall.

Overall it measures 41" x 32.5". The back is like old floorboards. |

Amazing sign. The sheer quality of the Five Boys is jaw droping. I also love the Bushells Blue Label tea - fantatsic. |

Amazing Five Boys! I'm green with envy. These days, The Saleroom has ensured no more real bargains at auction, although I suppose it is good if you're selling. I got into sign collection about 20 years too late - and I'm having to pay for it. Someone most of you will know is reported as saying: 'if you want anything good you have to pay tomorrow's price'. |

Looks like Fleece has got the Yellow Jersey this year with his "Mauretania" and it's still only bloody January ! |
