OutdoorKing Repair Forum Forums Collectors Corner Collectors General Discussion Victa Advertising Signs?

Someone has shown me these vintage Victa signs on Facebook. He said they are made out of some thick cardboard stuff. Are these original signs for the Victa VC's and Mark 1 Series 70 engines?
Apparently they came from an old Victa dealership and the rest of the stuff went to the tip.







He also has a marino one



What do you reckon they are worth?

Thanks For Reading!

Hi Kye

Yep, they are consistent with being from Victa.
The Powerhouse holds some of these.

Highly collectible.
Sorry, I can't give values on these, as Victa collectors seem to
defy common sense when these come up. They're cardboard.
[My favourite would be the top one.]

How about that - Marino products:-

Hope this helps.

Spraying insecticide without a face mask, you wouldn't see pics like that now

Thanks Jack & Norm.
He said he knows the owner of the "Victa Museum", would this be the powerhouse museum?

I got scared when he said cardboard Jack, and he doesn't know what price to start at, he only wants to sell the VC one at the moment as he wants the others for his shed.

I reckon the yellow one will fit good above my shelf.



Postage would be hard.

Thanks For Reading!

Not sure what he means there.
The Powerhouse is a public body, but would have a head curator.
It would house the most important Victa archive in the country.

Nice display Kye. There's nothing like the smell of petroleum
products in the morning

p.s. why does the Victa manual have two crab claws?

Probably as a warning Jack to keep sticky fingers away

Thanks Jack! Those claws are my defense so no one can steal them haha! I am not sure where a got them from but I thought I would put them up there somewhere.
