E .R .MOSS DESPENSING CHEMISTS GLASS SIGN

Post by DAVE SMITH »

Hello all.
I Bought this Early advertising Glass sign a few months back from a collector here in Torquay.
The date I found on the back is 1878, it is in pretty good condition considering it's age. The gold is a single gild of 23crt
on the back the sign background looks to have been stipple painted.
It was once part of the chemist shop E.R MOSS in the town of Ashburton ,Devon about 15 miles from me.
Anyway just thought I would show it off...... Imagine having your teeth taken out back then.
