Brilliant Nugget shoe polish sign on an old shop window in Middle Park

Drove by this on Canterbury Road the other day. What a beauty - and great that it's been kept:

This find reminded me of my earlier encounter with the remnants of a Nugget sign in Carlton that had been photographed years before by ghost sign aficionado John Hunter: http://findingtheradiobook.blogspot.com.au/2014/01/a-nugget-shoe-polish-sign-old-photo-and.html

A few signs from Middle Park and Albert Park

This week I managed to get a few minutes en route from Caulfield back to Footscray...here are a few signs I encountered in Middle Park and Albert Park.

From the Middle Park shops:

Is that a Robur Tea sign?...

Albert Park shops:

 

And up the road:

Carlton beer and Velvet soap...different times, differing priorities...

...and still visible from a way away.
