Original Liptons tea enamel sign. Originally would have been on a shop front. The flange / bracket is still there so you could bend it back into shape but someone has flattened it at some point. Ideal first sign or display item. The sign is faded. Please see photo for condition.

Hi you’re looking at a Lipton’s Tea” double sided enamel sign dates from around 1920 and it is in “as found condition. Sir Thomas Johnstone Lipton was a Glasgow-born entrepreneur who by 1888, had opened 300 Lipton stores, he went onto enter the tea trade and “Liptons” Teas were born. It was Thomas Lipton who was the first to package tea in small, convenient tins rather than loose leaf tea. The sign has the usual enamel losses, there are also the marks, rust stains and scuffs that you would expect from an item of this age and use. However, the green background and recessed white lettering still have a good depth of colour and gloss. We have tried to show the condition in the photographs. It measures 38 cm (15 inches) by 23 cm (9 inches). Please look at all photos and ask any questions.
