Description

Enameled metal 'Public Telephone sign'; Wonderful British heritage! Rare double sided blue enameled sign. A vibrant rich blue strong enamel sign with clear white writing on both sides. Bringing the spirit and history of the sign through is the subtle yet noticeable ware – in general for its age it has stood very well against the elements. This vintage / antique sign remains vibrant, clear and colourful (more faded on one side than the other).
This piece can easy sit in a category of vintage signs. However it stands tall against other types of vintage sign, often advertising, as this is intended for a public service announcement and does not contain the more common pictograph.
Similar vintage signs rarely exist on historic buildings today, and are only becoming more scarce. This example is seen in a village on the Exmoor way, Sommerset, UK. This historic collectors item makes a great addition to any place while still remaining functional.
