An original early 20th century enamel advertising sign for Karpol car polish, produced for display in garages, motor agents and automotive supply shops. The sign features a bold interwar design with contrasting red and blue silhouetted figures set within a white circular panel, flanked by red panels reading “KARPOL” above and “Buy it here” below. The strong graphic style and confident typography are typical of British motoring advertising from the late 1920s to early 1930s, aimed at catching the eye of motorists and workshop customers. The shaped outline adds considerable visual impact and sets this apart from standard rectangular garage signs. Extensive surface wear, enamel loss and edge rusting confirm this as a genuine period working sign rather than a later decorative reproduction.
Size/Dimensions
H: 72.5 cm x L: 43.5 cm
Condition
Original unrestored condition. The sign shows enamel loss, rusting to edges and fixing holes, surface scratching and wear, particularly to the upper lettering panel. The reverse shows expected corrosion and oxidisation from age and use. The remaining enamel is stable and the sign displays very well. All wear is consistent with age and long-term garage or workshop display and contributes to its authenticity.
Era
Circa 1925–1935, interwar period
