Another features the Bisto Kids catching the aroma of a roast dinner, inscribed Bisto For All Meat Dishes and Ah! Bisto. A Champagne Pommery sign displays an Art Nouveau style illustration of a woman in a flowing dress leaning on a large champagne glass, with text for Pommery & Greno, Reims, France. A Kellogg’s Frosted Flakes sign features the Tony the Tiger mascot and the catchphrase G-R-R-REAT!.

Each piece is constructed from lithographed metal with pre-drilled corner holes for mounting. Several items incorporate printed weathered or distressed effects to simulate age.
