Replica Sunshine Gate Plate
"SUNSHINE GATE PLEASE SHUT"
This is an exact copy of the original plate, made using
a traditional press tool, which gives a very clear pressing.
The holes are in the exact position of the original.
It is pressed in zinc coated sheetmetal which is ideal to paint.
If you like the rustic look, you can remove the zinc coating in acid
and the sign will rust.
They measure 210mm x 90mm
Cast jointed farm gates were made around the turn of the last century. They were originally made by companies such as Sunshine McKay, Simpson and Cyclone.
The gates are still an attractive and iconic part of today's rural life.
