About the Item

A vintage trade sign from the esteemed Thomas Walker & Sons Ltd, renowned makers of ship’s logs and chronometers in Southampton, UK. The sign is beautifully hand-painted with vibrant, gold lettering on a blue/black wooden surface, featuring the company’s name, “THOS. WALKER & SONS,” along with “Chronometers” and “Ships’ Logs.” The bottom of the sign displays the location, Bargate, Southampton, a historic maritime port. An intriguing aspect of this piece is the ship’s log or navigational instrument mounted at the center of the sign, likely a part of the instruments the company was known for producing. This unique sign would be a fantastic addition to any collection of nautical or maritime memorabilia, and it is perfect for display in a coastal-themed home, bar, or office. Dimensions: 30"h x 20"w x 5"d Condition: This vintage sign is in good condition, with some signs of wear and shrinkage of the wood that add to its authentic character. The the lettering remains bold and legible.
