Antique Advertising Large Owens Birkenhead Shop Wooden Display Sign Radio Cycle

Mid 20th Century 

An eye catching and characterful double sided advertising sign for “Owens, a retailer that was based at 61 Exmouth Street, Birkenhead, specialising in radios, cycles and household appliances.

This long format sign features bold, period typography and classic mid century advertising design. It promotes a range of products including radios, cycles and the “New Goblin Twin-Tub Washer, while also highlighting Raleigh bicycles, adding strong appeal for cycling and automobilia collectors.

The sign has a wonderfully aged, rustic appearance, with natural-looking wear, yellowed tones and patina that enhance its vintage charm. 

The sign proudly promotes the address the business was operating from: Exmouth Street. This was a busy shopping area with lots of small independent retailers in the early to mid 20th century

This sign would have been used to advertise the shop and draw customers in and would have either been used on top of a delivery lorry or mounted stationery with a high footfall or traffic to promote the business. 

An innovative advertising sign for this company in the mid 20th Century. 

A fantastic piece for collectors or advertising or someone looking to add character and vintage charm to an interior or art studio / retail space. Perfect for anyone that lives in the local area.
