Even if you couldn't read, you'd still know that this is the locksmith's shop. That was precisely the point many years ago, but I think these signs are still useful—and charming. I found this one in Paris. [It's Ruby Tuesday. To see more, go here. For more Our World Tuesday posts, go here.] |
I love these medieval signs, originals or not. Yes, there's no mistaking what's sold here.
ReplyDeleteFabulous just the sort of photo I would take myself. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree, it is eye catching and a great way to advertise a shop.
ReplyDeleteGreat shot. It's good to see these sorts of signs - makes a change from the mass market shopping of today.
ReplyDeleteI love that red key! And pray tell why can't I ever remember Ruby Tuesday? I"d love to join. Maybe I'll tie a red string around my finger!

Our locksmith drives around town in a van. You call, and he comes to your place to make keys. Or you can go to his house and he has a small shop out back. I just love living in a small town. - Margy
ReplyDeleteWhat a grand key---especially because it's red!

I love old signs above shops but this has a very modern twist to it with the vibrant red.
ReplyDeleteMon grand-père était serrurier. Cela me rappelle de très bons souvenirs. Je sais qu'il pensait toujours que Breault fait un bon travail.
