Lot 11: Rare Vintage Rinso and Fry's Dual Advertising Enamel Sign

A rare vintage commercial advertising sign, likely constructed of enamelled metal, dating to the early-to-mid 20th century. The sign features dual advertising for two distinct products: Rinso laundry detergent and Fry’s Chocolate. The upper section advertises Rinso, displaying the logo in white lettering on a red oval set against a dark blue background. Accompanying text reads “SOAK THE CLOTHES” and “SAVES COAL EVERY WASH-DAY.” The lower section advertises Fry’s Chocolate, presented in large white lettering on a dark background, set against a vertically planked tan background. Small legible text below the Fry’s name indicates a royal warrant: “MAKERS TO HM THE KING & HM THE QUEEN.” The sign is typical of in-store or exterior commercial advertising from the period.
