OK, there really is nothing new about tin signs. Red Rose doesn't
capture the market on tin, but it has put out it's share of simple yet brightly
colored signs. I have no clue other than a guess as to which sign came out first but I'll take
anyone's advice that might have more insight.
Older Signs
I am guessing the whole group came out in the 40's. Maybe some of them are
from the 50's.

This

OK, is this a vertical sign or a push bar?

Coffee and French Signs
I believe the yellow and orange signs are older than the blue green signs.
I think the blue greens come from the 60's, what do you think?

Red
Rose wasn't just about tea... |
... the
coffee was good too! |
Don't
forget the French speaking population of Canada... |
...that would be a BIG mistake if you did!

What is a push bar? It's the metal bar across the center of a door in a small
grocery store that is
used to push it open (usually to exit the store.) Many companies promoted themselves on these push bars. I
recall many bye-gone soda brands that have graced the push bars of my childhood
memories. What do you remember?
