Polish Enamel Fire Brigade Station Sign – “Komenda Rejonowa Straży Pożarnych w Nowym Tomyślu” In Excellent Condition – No Reserve A striking and high-end quality vintage Polish steel enamel sign, originating from the regional headquarters of the Fire Brigade in Nowy Tomyśl, western Poland. These red-and-white enamel plaques were official signage used on municipal and governmental buildings from the mid-20th century onward, and examples in such clean, glossy condition are increasingly difficult to find. This piece features its original deep red enamel coating, bold white typography, and slight age-related marks around the mounting holes — exactly the sort of authentic patina expected from genuine institutional signage. Historical Context Enamel municipal signs like this were widely used across Poland between the 1950s and 1980s, produced to withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining bright visibility. The fire brigade (Straż Pożarna) held an important civic role during this period, and their signage followed strict visual codes: red for urgency and state duty, white for clarity, steel enamel for durability. Today, such signs have become popular collectible items in industrial décor, loft interiors, and among fire-service memorabilia enthusiasts.
