About the Item

A large 1920s, hand painted, tough canvas and wooden framed sign which would have originally been fixed to the side of a Ford Model T van advertising the business’ services. This is 1 of 2 signs available. The sign is hand written in cream typography over a dark green background, and has been lovingly repaired over the many years of use, with some old historic stitches to a few areas which add to the charm of the sign. It still retains its original eyehole fixings and can be easily wall mounted.
