Help please.. DUBLIN Whiskey George Roe reverse painted sign

Postby Chris » Sun Apr 05, 2015 5:31 pm

I recently aquired a Dublin Whiskey Geo Roe glass sign. It's reverse painted and the frame shows age.
I know what I have read online about the distillery going out of business in the mid 1920's.
The story I got from the seller is their grandfather brought it over when he immigrated to the USA.
Amazed this thing survived all these year without breaking.
I am curious of the value of this type of item as I am guessing it's quite rare??? 32" x. 25"
Any help would be appreciated greatly.
Cheers from across the pond!!!

Lovely sign Chris. I'm sure in the right auction in Ireland that would get close if not more than €400. I've seen a mirror go for €270 I think. It's under whiskey memorabilia here.

I had to edif that last reply, damn autocorrect. I was thinking a little more and think that could go for more. I can't recall another like it.

Hi Chris,

I have a pub in Co. Donegal, Ireland and would be interested in buying your sign if you'd like to sell it.

thanks
