Hi, you are looking at my Vintage Original Wills’s Star Cigarettes Enamel Sign. I don’t know exactly when it was made, but think it’s likely to be in the 1920’s. It is in completely original condition, and for it’s age is in very good condition, due to the heavy gauge metal used and the quality of the enamelling. It is a full sized period sign measuring approximately 50″ x 32″ = 127cm x 81cm Please look carefully at the photo’s, as they are a big part of the description. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask, and I will do my best to help. Viewing in South Devon (1 mile off the A38, 4 miles from Newton Abbot) can be arranged almost any time, and as it is large and quite heavy, it will of course need to be collected. Assistance with loading will be given. I believe my price is very realistic. I also have several other vintage original advertising enamel signs for beer, other cigarettes etc. Please ask if interested. Thank you for looking.
