← What we buy
We buy enamel signs
We buy old enamel advertising signs across South, West and Mid Wales, including single signs taken down from a shed or garage wall.
Enamel signs were made to stand outside shops, garages and stations for years, and plenty still turn up on outbuildings and in lofts. Size, maker, subject and the amount of chipping all affect what a sign is worth.
Photograph the whole sign straight on, then any maker’s name along the edge and close-ups of chips or rust.
