Orval sign?

[deanna]

Looking for Orval sign like one I have seen on the upper wall in the backroom at Hopleaf (for you Belgian beer-lovers around Chicago).

I'm guessing it's 3-4 ft high, 2 ft wide. Dark background with the fish symbol of Orval perhaps in yellow. Tin? Can be antique or a reproduction.

Would perhaps be interested in other Belgian signs as well.

Thank you.

Try Ebay or possibly your local Orval distributer. I sold many tin beer signs on Ebay awhile back and I was suprised that That a fairly recent sign was as popular as some of the older or antique signs. It was a small Paulaner sign and I had three of them. I got emails about them and the bidding was brisk.

Yes, ebay is always an option. As are antique shops - browse or ask the owner for specific items. Have them keep you in mind and call you if any beer paraphernalia comes in.

No Orval stuff that I know of, but lots of Belgian beer items to browse.

Cheers!

I have a couple that I got off ebay. Both are metal, one is from the sixties and the other is new. They were expensive, some times you can be lucky and get them for less but there is a lot of interest especially in Orval (ebay user CyberYannis often has them - you could email her and ask if she has any for sale - I got the new one before she put it on ebay).
The old one is a diamond about 14 inches square the other is an oblong about 20 inches tall by about 8 inches wide - it's the same as the one in M Jackson's world beer book.
3-4 ft by 2 ft I have never seen and doubt if I could afford!
