An excellent example of mid-century British advertising, this double-sided enamel sign promotes Vick Vapour-Rub, a well-known chemist product for colds. Featuring bold colours with "CHEMIST VICK BRAND VAPOUR-RUB for COLDS" in black, red, and white lettering over a green background, the sign is vibrant and visually impactful. Both sides retain strong graphic appeal and would display well in a vintage chemist or advertising collection. A rarely seen version with enamel on both sides.
