$110 Negotiable
If you can see this Ad, the item is still avaiable
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A collection of 14 assorted vintage 1970s ceramic room markers / signs / tiles.
A touch of truly nostalgic whimsy!
The room marker tiles are made in England, by PURBECK CERAMICS LTD King's Rd, Swanage, Dorset and each tile has this clearly marked on the peel-off sticker on the reverse.
All tiles have their original plastic wrapper intact, although some of these wrappers are worse for age.
These signs are designed to be self-adhesive, although these days it would be wise to mount them using something like silicone (can't guarantee the integrity of the original glue after all these years) on any surface.
All of the tiles are on a creamy-white fully-glazed ceramic base, with a floral design in one corner (most) A couple have different designs positioning.
The wording displays typical British humour, and is in black print. Relating to bedrooms, offices, guest or spare, and bathrooms.
Some signs relate to "Grandad's room" or "Grandma's room" - from an age when extended families were the norm, and oldies were not just plonked into a retirement village.
One tile even has "Horror's room" - how politically-incorrect is THAT!
Each tile is approx 4inches by 2 inches (110mm x 50mm approx)
13 tiles are in perfect condition
1 tile is broken on the top left hand corner (picture2) but it is a clean break so should glue back easily with some due care.
$10 per intact tile
$5 for the broken one
Or, to be sold as one lot for $115.
These tiles CAN be posted, but costs of post / insurance is at purchaser's additional cost.
Probably better to pick up, due to their fragile nature.
All enquiries via email, thank you.
(Oops, guess who forgot to reset the dates after changing the camera battery?)
