I paid £250 each for a couple of mint examples a few years ago. I'd have to measure mine, but I have large versions around that size and a smaller one too. |

Hi Hoarder,
I was reading your post, I have a 32x24 inch one of these same colours as the one your looking at ,mine is dated 1962, its in great condition, no restoration ( better than the one you gave a link for, or the other examples for sale on e-bay at the moment, for that matter )
To be honest I hadnt given a thought to selling it, but just saw your posting, let me mull it over, I paid good money for it a couple of years ago because of it condition, so if i wanted to sell it , the price would have to reflect that .
Cheers peter |

Hi There,
Whether i decide to sell it or not, thought you would like to see it anyhow.
So i think i have downloaded a couple of pics ( hopefully ! )
Vaguely interesting foible on it is that the date at the bottom of the sign is -- 107/61/15, but on the back its dated--- 2/62  |

I have a rare square version in very good condition - almost mint. But the word Michelin is in English AND Arabic. Bought in Saudi Arabia some years back.

Sorry to go 'off topic' but that's quite an unusual Volvolutum you have there, Nomad2 |

Hi Fred, thats really interesting, I found a few signs whilst working in Kuwait during the 80s/90s. I regrettabily had to leave some behind because of the invasion, one being a largish concave Singer (Victorian Lady) in English and Arabic. |

Hi Hoarder,
No worries glad you found one, I had made my mind up before reading your post that I would sell it , so I am going to follow through with that ( theres always another thing I want to buy ).
So i have listed it in the for sale section.
Thanks for your comments about it, it is a lovely example |
