About the Item

Not much is known about this rather cheeky round bar sign, metal painted bronze/gold, of a man in a top hat. Either the mystery man or the establishment, which apparently went by "Mr. Pubb", is likely is the stuff of local pub lore. In decent vintage condition, ready for your home bar or your next spot open to the public! Good size and rare.
