Clemak Razor Enamel Sign S125
Original, quality, 1920s two-sided enamel advert with an end flange for mounting "bus stop" fashion. This is a very clean and bright sign, has black text on white, with a yellow background and both sides are the same detailing "Clemak Safety Razor, British make 5/=, why pay a guinea?" There are 3 small holes cleanly drilled to the end nearest the flange that I presume are not original, and there are a few very minor chips to the edges of the enamel. Otherwise this unusual sign is in near mint condition and looks unlikely to have ever been fixed up for use. 24" x 6"
