Burgoyne’s Wines of Australia of all wine merchants. 1325 mm

complete with contents and label.
This imposing sign is nothing short of remarkable! Extremely

few bottle related Australian enamel signs, not only is this bottle
related, it bears without a doubt the biggest picture of a bottle
pictured on any sign, quite possibly in the World!
Any interested parties will need to arrange picking this up or delivery to a show that we are attending. Pack and send is another
option at the expense of the purchaser.
Viewings are welcomed, contact Travis or Dave to arrange a
viewing at a mutually convenient time.
VG, has been in a hard frame on the
side of a building, you can see all around
the edge where the enamel stops and
the part of the sign that would have been
