    This is a bit of a F.Y.I.

    I found a antique store this afternoon that sells all kindsa items (mostly antique furniture, amongst other things),
    it even has about 80 of those old 30's-esque sign's for everything for redhead matches, bushells tea,
    triumph's, indians, bsa's, harleys (too bloody many of them), ford, holden, even a sign from a 1937 golf
    tournament.

    They are located on the corner of Penrose St and Centennial Ave in Lane Cove, Sydney.

    enjoy!

    (mostly antique furniture, amongst other things),
    holden, even a sign from a 1937 golf
    Cove, Sydney.

    A few years back those signs came out as repros... be careful about buying
    them because they are probably not original... if they are around 3 feet by
    2 or smaller, they would be worth approx $75 to 125 ... look on the back...
    if the whole back is rusted evenly then it is more likely original... if it
    is patchy it is a repro...

    I used to sell a few when I had my antiques business... list price was
    around $60 in 1995..

    it.
    Prolly one of the repros... The rust used to be "induced"! But $44.00 is a
    great price...
