Notes
A First for QDT! Point of Sale signs, display cases and stands can add so much to the visual appeal of your collection.
This mirror finish Glass Sign is an especially difficult find. The eye-catching bold lettering in orange-red ‘MECCANO, TRAINS, HORNBY, DINKY TOYS’ has a bright yellow background. Mirror-finish. Measures approx. 65cms x 17.5cms
Note the small area of loss to the orange red colour on letter ‘A’ of Meccano.
Corner chip to glass – this sign could be placed within a frame and so the chip would not be visible.
Period wiring has not been tested but originally this sign was illuminated.
Some tarnishing to the metal fittings – may be improved with careful cleaning.
Note the period French address on the reverse too.
