Two variations of flanged 2 sided type. Note: One has maple leaves, the other
has stars (very strange for a Canadian sign). Star style manufactured by
Imperial Enamel Co., Birmingham, England.
A more modern Bell sign -- two-sided flanged. These come in a blue background,
white letters variety as well as just TELEPHONE and SERVICE on the bell -- no
B.T.CO of CAN in the circle. |

Two mini signs of the same era as above. Flanged, two-sided. |
Two "hubcap" style Canadian signs. Note: Maple leaves on both. |
