Early Large Factory Showcard (says " Manufactory Rebuilt 1874" at bottom right of the picture)....

Another really nice one, there must have been so many different ones issued back in the day. The Gilbert Rae is another of my favourites.

Hi, yes the GB tin sign. I tend to think of tin signs and showcards as much the same thing and made to do the same job inside a shop.Early embossed tin signs are the ultimate for me in quality and desirability. If only they had a higher survival rate I'd have a lot more in my collection!! 

A couple of showcards and a display case from Edinburgh.

Greetings,

Hi Meiki, great display, I've always wanted the showcard with the kids leapfrrogging the tins but never found one. If you ever want to part......  Here's my only showcard from the company, quite large and original frame.  Cheers, Alan

 Stunning

Hi Alan, good that I uploaded my three MacKenzie Showcards - otherwise the other collectors would not have seen your wonderful one. A truly magnificent depiction ot the girl ... and the handbag! Wonderful!

Greetings,

Meiki

Hi Meiki, glad you like the showcard, it's one of my favourites. The Cherry Brandy is a nice sign, I think they were maybe a German company. Just remembered I've a " single " Mackenzie showcard, I think a different company altogether though. I'll try and get a picture on the site. Cheers, Alan

 Love the Taylor Cocoas and the Gallahers. 

You have to like a good factory .
