Description

A large rectangular industrial advertising sign for Kynoch, a prominent British manufacturer of ammunition and metal products. The sign is constructed from a painted board featuring a black background with a thin white border. The central text is rendered in large, blue serif capital letters with a white drop-shadow effect. Two metal eyelets are screwed into the top edge for hanging purposes. Kynoch Ltd was founded by George Kynoch in Birmingham in the mid-19th century and later became a central part of Imperial Chemical Industries (ICI). This item originates from the United Kingdom.
Length: 120cm.


Condition report:

The sign is in good vintage condition. There is minor surface wear, including light scratches and small abrasions across the black field. The edges show some minor paint loss and chipping consistent with age and previous mounting. The lettering remains bright with minimal fading.
