COLLECTION IN PERSON ONLY. Spratts Bonio & Mixed Ovals / Budgerigar & Canary Mix. This sign was originally part of two shop sites that formed Leroy Pet Stores, in Stamshaw, Portsmouth, UK. Originally owned by my grandparents, and then my parents until the shop closed down due to increasing competition from the first pet superstores. The shop was rather famous in its day, for being like a tiny local zoo, as we had a monkey, a python, a parrot, and an Caiman, which customers were fascinated to be able to see in person upon visiting the store. The shop was split across two properties dead opposite each other in Twyford Avenue. One side (the famous side, which I lived above as a child) had all of the animals to see and small pets and fish for sale. These signs would have been on the other site, which I have never seen as that part was already closed when I was born, and was being converted into what became my home for close to 30 years. This sign would have been hung on the front of the shop for almost 40 years. Vintage Original Enamel Shop Advertisment Sign. Measures 8ft x 18-inches. Hard to say what it weighs but Im estimating around 20kg. Please enlarge the photos for a good look at the condition. As with all of these vintage enamel signs, the edges are very worn and corroded, and there are small holes throughout as you can see in the images. This item is too large and heavy for me to be able to wrap it and/or post it.
