I bought one of these signs from James, probably over 10 years ago. As I have an old pub hanging sign to attach it to.
Like many things it's an unfineshed project 10 years on.
Although they are sold as a copy of the original. And I am more than happy with it. Over the last few years I've been keeping my original signs instead of selling them. So with these new signs not being 100% accurate, I happy they are what they are. It stops people ageing them and passing them of as originals.
I've never seen an original of this sign in enamel? I have seen one in tin litho. But not been able to afford one yet.
Original austin signs are extreamly expensive.

Here is a simular morris sign in tin litho again.

And on the other side, an austin sign I could afford at £200. Another tin litho, condition isn't fantastic. But if it was as good as the morris sign the value would estimate at £1,000 to £1,500
Hope the font on these signs help.
