This is made from vitreous enamel fused onto sheet steel. Heavy gauge - unlike modern versions this one can't be bent easily. Very durable. Made around 1950.
The white enamel is in relief, suggesting high quality craftsmanship and giving excellent definition.
Convex (domed).
Examples this age and in this condition on the open market are exceptionally rare.
From a consignment found near Lyon in Rhône-Alpes, France. This and around 200 others, some duplicates, have never been mounted on doors or walls. Stock from a warehouse, enameller's or ironmonger's abandoned many years ago.
4" high 6" wide.
This is the real thing from real France. Not a copy, not made yesterday.
Around four thousand house numbers in stock at the last count - large, small, old, high, low, enamel, cast metal, bell metal, convex, flat, Danish, French, Australian, Japanese, German, Belgian, UK. Please let me know if this is not the number or style you require. But I have few numbers higher than #600.
All numbers accurately described - I do not try and mislead customers by applying euphemisms such as "authentic" or "traditional" or "original" or "vintage" or "style" to pass off cheap repro items as the real thing.
