A matched pair of 9-1/4" x 6-3/8" colourful tin litho advertising wall signs from Shapleigh Hardware of St. Louis, advertising their Diamond Edge products. The HOPE WORK SUCCESS sign has the printed cleaning instructions on the back, with the National Series No. 1531 legend and its original black twisted string for hanging. The GREAT SCORER adage sign has an applied cleaning sticker and the number 1426; it also has the original string. These 1920s advertising signs are in very good to excellent original condition with no bends, breaks, losses, damage or repairs other than a small dent on the upper left corner and a touch of paint wear on the left bevelled corners on the HOPE sign and some minor graphic rubbing and loss on the SCORER sign, which also has a touch of bevel wear on two corners, some water spots on the backing and tears at the string hole mounts. The indent visible at the bottom left sign was caused by a bunching of the cloth in front of the sign when it was photographed - it is not a dent or loss on the sign, just fabric. All items are thoroughly and conservatively graded and all condition issues are noted; all items are secondhand and may have slight signs of gentle use. Surface shipping to the U.S. starts at $7.50 (other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. Items paid with a credit card will be shipped to confirmed addresses only. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. Please note that we do NOT accept Paypal.

A really attractive English antique tin. This is a quite tall 13" high lithographed tin made by the English firm Hudson Scott & Sons c1900-10. This tin has high relief foliate borders, center embossed cartouches of ladies against a hammered texture ground, and angular Arts and Crafts style handles, all with lithographed mahogany wood graining. It has the company mark in very tiny print near the base (Hudson Scott & Sons Ltd. Carlisle Eng.) , and this beauty is very good condition with only slight scrapes to the lithography, which remains mostly intact with its original shading and colours, but it has no lid, which we assume it did have one originally. Hudson Scott is closely associated with Carr's biscuits and sweets (also located in Carlisle), but there is no Carr or other company designation on the tin, although it may possibly have held sweets or biscuits also. I am not sure what the lid would have looked like, as I have never run across this lovely tim before. It will require a fairly large box, so surface shipping starts at $10 (to the US - other spots may vary) - insured is higher, and mandatory on items over $85 if paid with a credit card. We do ship internationally. All of our prices are in $US. Please note that we do not accept Paypal.
