1930s cycle makers decals

Hello, these recently turned up at a house clearance, I guess the owner worked for the maker who supplied many different companies. Most of these companies no longer exist but a few can still be found. At least 6 seem to be Birmingham.

Originally they were varnished onto the the frame of the bike.

What a fabulous collection.

Thanks for showing them.

Great collection! Unfortunately, I do not recognize them! Thanks for sharing.
 
You are probably too young!

I think really they deserve to be in a museum or or cafe or some public place rather than gathering dust in my flat.
Nick, I agree they should be in a museum or such, and since I was born in ’43 (19) probobly 20 years at least before I thought about that stuff.
