Are those Norman's Inks ones foreign? Something about the image/illustration looks un-English to me. |

There is a variation of the Norman's Inks sign with a Bombay retailer's address:

I don't know though where the company was based. There were a number of their paper labels for sale on Ebay a while back, possibly with the company details on, but I can't find those now!

There you go. I'm almost certain that they were made for the Indian market, but whether in this country, or out in India i don't know. |

Thanks for that. I strongly believe they're not English; there's just something wrong with the illustration. It doesn't work properly as a sign. |

I'm sure you're right about the Norman's Inks Spence, it looks inferior to an British made sign. The Falkirk Iron sign is fantastic, better even than the Cadburys "skyline" pictorial. |
