    This small Tilley advertising sign (~24cm x 19cm) features an Tilley X246 from 1949-1954, and the Tilley owl “I always use them” image.

    The back of the sign has “15 M - 99 - M.B. C9” and “LIT - 103.”

    It is designed to be hung or stood on a shelf or bench. The paintwork is quite delicate. The metal is aluminium. The tabs at the back are stamped “BEND OUT TO STAND”.
