Vintage c1920 “Pratt’s Motor Spirit” Double Sided Enamel Sign #2. PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ON THE UK SITE AND LISTED IN GB POUNDS. Double Sided Enamel Sign. “Pratt’s Motor Spirit”. This fabulous “Pratt’s Perfection Spirit” double sided sign dates from the 1920’s and is in “as found” condition and has not been repaired or restored. The ANGLO – AMERICAN OIL CO LTD was formed in 1888 and by the early 1900’s was importing motor spirit in to the U. Under the brand name of “Pratt’s”. In 1935 the “Pratt’s” products were re-branded “ESSO”. This sign would have been attached to a garage forecourt wall where it could be seen by passing motorists. The sign has the usual areas of enamel loss and “nibbles” to the edges, as well as patches of loss to the body on both sides, it also has the usual scuffs and scratches that you would expect from an item of this age and use. I have tried to show the condition in the photographs. The stylish black and white shadow lettering is still legible and the sign has a good depth of colour and gloss. This sign also has the parents company name along the bottom. The flange is strong and sturdy and has four mounting holes. All in all, this is a good example of a classic piece of British automobilia in good original condition. It measures 53.5 cm (21 inches) long and 46 cm (18 inches) high.
