    Description

    Up for grabs here is a vintage, or antique sign made of tin. It reads: "JONES' SEWING MACHINES...CONTRACTORS TO H.M. GOVERNMENT...ESTABLISHED 1859...BY APPOINTMENT MAKERS TO HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN - BY APPOINTMENT MAKERS TO HER MAJESTY QUEEN ALEXANDRA...MADE IN ENGLAND." I searched online extensively, and I COULD NOT FIND ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THIS SIGN, so I really don't know much about it. Here's what I "THINK" - The small coat of arms on the LEFT side of the sign seems to be for Mary of Teck, who was "queen consort" by virtue of her marriage to King George V. She served from 1910 until 1936, and I believe that this was made during that period. (Queen Alexandra in mentioned on the RIGHT side of the sign. She was queen consort from 1901 until 1910, but I think this was made AFTER she stepped down, due to the death of King Edward VII, in 1910.) The sign measures 13 inches long, by 9 inches wide. The condition is FAIR. The bottom right corner is significantly bent. The sign has some "dings," scratches, paint wear, light bends and general wear. The bottom half of the sign is blank, and there are 7 very small pre-made slot openings in this area, where it looks like something may have been attached - perhaps a calendar. (?) A cord is attached to the top / back, for hanging, but I don't think the cord is original. The sign still displays pretty well, and you may never see another. It is guaranteed to be old & original - made approximately 100 years ago (give or take) - or your money back.
