The Gibbs sign came to me from New Zealand whre they used to have vast amount of sheep but sadly the dairy industry is now taking over a lot of the land where sheep used to once graze.
The Climax sign was from Liverpool in the UK and the UK is where a lot of the famous signs were made.
The Cooper Stands alone was a sign that was wrecked when I got it and I have fully restored it to its former glory. This sign also came from New Zealand
The McDougalls dip is a tin sign and very old. It too came from the UK. These four sign are just a fraction of the 170 that I have in my possession. I also have many pieces of sheep shearing equipment and I am always looking for more.
