Vintage Bus Signs

Vintage Bus Signs from parishotelboutique.com

I just adore vintage bus signs! The provenance combined with the old typography makes them extra special. And, they are great pieces of art. I have one in my dining room and people seem to be intrigued by it. It's sort of one of those quirky, unexpected pieces that add a spark to a room.


Vintage Trolley Sign from parishotelboutique.com

I currently have some for sale on my website. This extra special trolley bus sign (above) is from Bournemouth, a large coastal resort town on the south coast of England. Cricket, Tennis, Circus, Carnival, Pageant...it doesn't get better than that! I've never seen a sign like this before. The town of Bournemouth hosted many events of the Festival, hence all the activities on the sign would make sense. Upon research, Bournemouth sounds like a great tourist town with lots of history, great beaches, culture and a professional football club, too!

These are just great! Strong, quirky and very graphic-oriented with big letters in black-and-white!

I prefer live fashion, for example taking a bus ride in Paris, in one of the touristic routes. If I was to go for a sign, I would fancy one used in the good old days in Champs Elysees.
