Topic: Old Enamel Signs on Allotments

[Old Enamel Signs]

Hi there, we have been collecting old advertising signs for 30 years now and have bought many of them off allotment owners. It seems that the old enamel advertising signs produced in the thousands between 1880 and 1930 ended up on allotments. The enamel and iron backed signs have often stood the test of time and can still be found blocking up holes in shed walls, roofs and fences.

These signs can be worth a lot of money to us. We are also trying to catalogue all the pictorial signs from this period and would appreciate any help from allotment owners who may have found them.

Please email me or call 07941 971039

So what are you going to do about the holes in our roofs, walls and fences if we oblige you? ???

I've seen several over the years, but most were extremely rusty with large patches of the enamel missing.
