About the Item

A vintage trade sign from the esteemed Thomas Walker & Sons Ltd, renowned makers of ship’s logs and chronometers in Southampton, UK.

WALKER & SONS,” along with “Chronometers” and “Ships’ Logs.” The bottom of the sign displays the location, Bargate, Southampton, a historic maritime port. An intriguing aspect of this piece is the ship’s log or navigational instrument mounted at the center of the sign, likely a part of the instruments the company was known for producing.
