Vintage signs, with their delicious graphics, have become such a fashionable part of our everyday surroundings it is likely that you may not pause to look at them twice.

Cafes, bars, restaurants and shops are littered with vintage signage from enamel advertising boards to quirky railway notices. Whether reproduction or sought-after original, they possess an old-school charm and patina that modern-day designs cannot compete with. In recent years, thanks to the industrial style and eclectic interiors trends, vintage signs have become a ripe area for collectors too. It’s an affordable one to get stuck into, (BUT NOT WITH US !)

When I think of vintage signs it is the rural fingerpost road signs that pop into my mind. Many a happy day was spent riding my pony along winding lanes deep in the heart of Somerset villages.

These routes are peppered with chocolate-box white posts, each with a number of signs pointing to quaint names such as Cricket St Thomas, Haselbury Plucknett and Marston Magna. 

Historically, fingerpost signs are a traditional type of sign made of wood or cast iron found in the United Kingdom and Ireland. They consist of a black or white pole with arms (known as fingers) showing places and mileage painted in black against a white background.

They’ve been helping lost travellers for centuries. The oldest surviving fingerpost is thought to be sited near Chipping Campden in Gloucestershire, dated 1669 and pointing to Oxford, Warwick, Gloucester and Worcester. If you look at the top of these signs, you’ll see different finials (pyramids, circles or roundels) to denote different counties. The ends of the fingers might be curved, as in Dorset, square as in Cornwall or triangular, as in Somerset.

In 1964 the Traffic Signs Regulations brought in the signing system largely used today and encouraged the removal of fingerpost signs to be replaced with new designs but, happily, it was not compulsory. Away from the major routes, fingerpost signs survived.

Yet, there is hope. In the meantime, I think I’ll stick to seeking out ones for my walls.

For those who love vintage signs nostalgic appeal, original enamel advertising signs are the most commonly found. Many still retain their bold colors and they come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, which give them extra visual appeal. I particularly love the vintage enamel railway notices that, today, taken out of their intended context, add a light-hearted touch to home decoration. Garage and tea advertising signs are also popular with collectors.

Thankfully, prices for originals start from an affordable 50 Dollars for the least sought after. As always, condition, subject and scarcity can push the prices up. I came across a rare 1930s sign priced at 7,000 but, for the majority of us who fancy a little bit of vintage style, a really good example can be snapped up for around 200.00  But Out Unique Representatives of Personalized Vintage Metal Signs here are in now way going to go up in prices , but they will bring up the smiles and keep money in your pocket with the same effect as an Original Vintage Metal Sign would do.
