The AA box, a few internal embellishments.
Keith found a photo of an original sign, so we had a facsimile made true to the original, from scratch.
The sign was printed on to matte plastic paper, guaranteed to be stable and colourfast for 100years, then mounted in place.
Followers of this blog may have noticed, some AA boxes have a vent on the roof, this is because many were lit by oil lamp at night.
Keith, again had done his research and discovered that they used an oil hurricane lamp, hoisted up on two pulleys.
This has been recreated in the box for authenticity.
This rare example of Victoriana was looking a little sad in our museum, I it and re glued the faux leather covering and relined it in gold.
