Original Vitreous Enamel Advertsing Signs
The age of the vitreous enamel advertising sign was relatively short – from the late 1880s to the 1950s. The signs were manufactured by a complex method involving sheet iron, metal oxides and glass, and those that survive are becoming less readily available and increasingly difficult to source. They have now become extremely collectible and are proving to be a good investment, with some highly sought after examples fetching many £1,000s. We always have a selection of these signs for sale, both motoring, and non-motoring, and often a number of tin signs from the 1960s.
Reproduction Metal Advertising Signs
Because original enamel advertising signs have become so rare, and are often somewhat worn or corroded in places, the Vintage Petrol Pump Company has commissioned the production of a selected number of superior quality reproduction signs and these are available in two different ranges/price brackets. All of our reproduction signs are produced in limited numbers and are exclusive to the Vintage Petrol Pump Company. Please note that all of these signs are made in England and should not be confused with small, readily available signs imported from abroad.
