The original signs were made of ‘tin’ and were used to advertise everything from drinks to household appliances to key genres.

During the war and technology advancement, plastics and vinyl and other synthetic materials which were more durable replaced tin signs.
However, tin signs have returned as a prevalent choice today for collectors, aficionados looking for a retro look. Vintage styling and a touch of nostalgia have made tin signs desirable for present day decor.
