Description from the seller
A beautiful vintage enameled advertising sign from the well-known Czechoslovak brand Smetol.
Smetol was a household name at the time, and the text "Čajový margarin" (Tea Margarine) refers to the then-luxury table margarine. The sign features a superb, clean graphic design with the iconic red 'S' on the packaging, which fits perfectly in an industrial, retro, or modern interior.
The sign is in a lovely, used vintage condition with a fantastic gloss. As seen in the photos, the sign has some light, characteristic edge and corner damage (rust spots/enamel chips). This gives the sign its authentic, well-worn character. The central image and the lettering remain in very good and clear condition.
The photos are part of the description.
The sign will be very well packaged, registered and insured for shipping with a track and trace code.
If you win multiple lots during this auction from us, we will charge the most favorable shipping costs based on registered shipping. Any overcharged shipping costs by Catawiki will be refunded to you by us afterwards.
Not shipped to the United States.
