Selling a very rare and unusual example of a “VENOS LIGHTNING COUGH CURE” enamel advertising sign which has been in my personal collection for about 20 years. This is a most unusual sign because of its predominant colour, and it has been professionally framed to show it to best advantage and to make it easy to display.

The predominant colour is a deep orange, very unusual for an enamel sign of that era, with dark blue lettering, enhanced with white to give a “3D” effect - see pics.

The sign itself is believed to date from the 1930s. There is some corrosion to the enamel as one would expect in a sign of that age that has spent its life outdoors, but it is entirely commensurate with its age and antiquity and does not detract from the stunning overall appearance of this rare sign. The enamel has a deep reflective shine which is quite exceptional, given its age.

The sign has been professionally framed in a heavy duty white frame which further enhances its appearance. It has been fitted with brackets which enables it to be levelled on the wall with slight lateral movement, making it easy to get level to the eye.

The overall dimensions of the framed sign are :-

HEIGHT 33”

WIDTH 23”

DEPTH 1 1/4”

The enamel sign itself measures :-

HEIGHT 30”

WIDTH 20”

Reluctantly, owing to downsizing, this sign has to find a new home!

Thanks for looking.
