AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

A rare pair of original Japanese enamel advertising signs from the 1950s–1960s, featuring two iconic agricultural brands. Both signs display bold industrial typography, rich period colors, and authentic wear consistent with decades of outdoor use—highly desirable characteristics for collectors of Japanese Showa-era enamel signage.

1. “完全飼料 / Nagoya Feed Co.” Yellow Enamel Sign
• Manufacturer: 名古屋飼料株式会社(Nagoya Feed Co., Ltd.)
• Design: Bright yellow base with the prominent red-and-white “な” circular logo
• Text includes: “完全飼料” (Complete Feed), “特約店” (Authorized Dealer)
• Era estimation: Late 1950s–early 1960s
• Dimensions: approx. 45.31 cm

2. “三要素肥料 / Daito Fertilizer Industry” Blue Enamel Sign
• Manufacturer: 大東肥料工業株式会社(Tokyo / Kameido)
• Central logo: The classic red concentric-circle “日ソ” trademark
• Text includes: “優良品質” (Excellent Quality), “登録商標” (Registered Trademark)
• Era estimation: 1950s
• Dimensions: approx. 45.36 cm

Both signs retain their original enamel layers with period-correct patina, edge rust, chips, and mounting holes—authentic ageing that enhances their value as true mid-century commercial relics.

This matched-size duo is ideal for collectors of Japanese agricultural memorabilia, enamel sign enthusiasts, Showa-era industrial design lovers, or for use as a striking interior display.
