Vintage advertising material

I'm always a sucker for vintage advertising aluminium signs. Two such examples are up for auction today (3rd July) here. Bidding opens at £80.

The Captain Flame art in by Septimus Scott (whose signature is just about visible to the right of his belt). 

Tiger Tim art by Herbert Sydney Foxwell (I think! I'm not an expert on early 20th century comics artists).

Sold for a hammer price of £130
