crookedspire Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 ive have a old pub sign of a pub in sheffield anyone know if it would be worth saving or just getting rid of it Don't throw it away whatever you do !Back street pubs are going fast and like the Elm Tree will not be coming back . Either sale it or give to an Sheffield museum the Elm Tree is part of Manor Tops history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest makapaka Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'll have it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookedspire Posted October 4, 2016 Share Posted October 4, 2016 I'll have it? This sign was on eBay a while back it is free standing had lights fittings at the top made of metal with light scroll work, at the base it had a ball of concrete. So its quite heavy to move I did consider it myself but practicality issues ended that idea. It might be possible to unbolt the sign itself from the frame then scrap the stand part. I believe the money raised from the sale went to some local charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ture most signs now are made by computer graphics while OK never as good as an hand painted sign. A company in Sheffield used to make them for Stones and Wards breweries.
