A rectangular metal advertising sign for Michelin Tyre Services. The sign is constructed from sheet metal with a printed finish and features a three-part horizontal layout. The upper portion consists of a yellow band featuring the brand name MICHELIN in black, sans-serif block capitals. The central section is dark blue and features the Bibendum character, known as the Michelin Man, in a dynamic striding pose. The character wears a white banner across the chest with the MICHELIN name printed in black. The lower section consists of a dark blue band with the words TYRE SERVICES in bold white sans-serif block letters. The sign is designed with rounded corners and a deliberately distressed finish to simulate age, including purple-toned discoloration and rust-coloured spotting around the perimeter. A small white rectangular adhesive label is present in the top right corner. There are no visible maker’s marks or manufacturing stamps on the face of the sign.
