I'm starting to have a little clear out of B&O Memorabilia which I've accrued personally over the years, so I thought I'd pop a couple of bits on here first.  I've cleared out many closed-down dealers - and have always kept the nice, interesting stuff for my own 'collection'.

So, instead of eBay - here we are...

Bang & Olufsen Vintage Dealer Display Sign.  Backlit (by a circular flourescent tube) giving a beautiful 3D effect to the letters. It's 220v European spec, and although it originally had a 2-Pin Euro plug on, I changed it to a UK 3-Pin (it can easily be changed back, of course).  It all works perfectly, and powers up immediately.

It can hang by two hooks at the top rear of the casing - or can be screwed to a wall.

I can give exact measurements tomorrow when I'm back in work, but it's roughly 60cm x 70cm - and about 15cm deep from memory.

Condition is excellent, as you can see, aside from a few small marks to the rear where it was wall mounted in the dealership before being dry-stored for 30+ years.

Price - £195. I can pack perfectly and ship anywhere in the world, but please don't expect it to be £3.50 to ship it Australia!!  This is a quality sign with a metal casing and thick perspex front...

These signs don't come up very often. I've never been offered one before, or since, in 20 years of collecting B&O Memorabilia. I think the price is fair considering the condition and rarity.

Sold to a discerning collector!

Thank you for all the interest. I wish I had ten of these - I could have sold every one.. (I probably priced too cheap then!)

Noooo - can't believe I missed this!! Sad

In the hugely unlikely event that you ever find another one, Lee, you know where I am!
