Canadian 60th Anniversary Dealer HMV Sign
Posted: Sun Apr 10, 2016 10:10 pm
As a Canadian Collector, I don't see these 1959 dealer signs turn up too often. These were given to Canadian dealers to be hung in their showrooms in recognition of 60 years of the company in Canada.
Until recently, I assumed there was just the one 'English' issue. Now, I see there is one posted on Ebay and to my surprise...in French. Of course these would have been issued for the Province of Quebec, making their number small compared to the English version.
Everything about it is identical, except the brass plaque. I posted the French sign and my English version below.
As a past Coca Cola sign collector, I wonder if it's value will be less. This is always the case with Coke signs in French.
Interesting .
