This is an original, substantial enamel advertising sign for the London-based Truman’s Brewery (Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co Ltd). Dating from the late Victorian or early Edwardian era, the sign features the Eagle Brand trademark with a detailed black graphic of an eagle perched upon a rock. The design consists of a crisp white central field surrounded by a distinctive pale turquoise or seafoam green border. The typography includes bold black serif lettering for TRUMAN’S and BOTTLED ALES & STOUT, complemented by red serif text for EAGLE BRAND and the company’s full title and locations (London & Burton) at the base. A small manufacturer’s mark for PROCTOR… LONDON is visible at the bottom centre. This is an authentic period piece, not a modern reproduction. Dimensions: 41x 60 inches
