About the Item

Large outdoor ‘Bar Tabac’ sign from France in the 1950s. Extraordinary typography, typical of the 1950s. The metal letters are fixed to two steel bars, which were hung on the front of the establishment. You can see on the back that several colours were used in the past. Now it could be possible to fix it on a wall, inside or outside as you want. There was many "Bar Tabac" in France during the past, it was the place in the village where people can have a coffee or a glass of wine and also the place to buy cigarettes or tobacco. For this reason it was a very social place where people met to talk together ! Now you can have a part of french history and suppose that many things happened under this old sign !
