Was having a mass tidy up in the workshop today and found all this old glass work in a box tucked away. I'll put them in age order.

This first one was done around 1975 ish when I was still in the RAF it was the squadron signwriter who took me under his wing if you pardon the pun and started teaching me.

When I've got spare time from mainstream signs I have a book called advertising antiques I pick an old sign or poster and try to reproduce it.
