Sweet Georgia Brown Metal Sign – Premium Vintage Advertising, Made in Germany A premium Sweet Georgia Brown advertising sign made from extra-strong sheet steel. Its richly coloured artwork, inspired by classic American pomade advertising, is embossed on several levels and enhanced by a gently curved shape for an especially dimensional appearance. With rounded corners and four pre-drilled mounting holes. Perfect for barbershops, bathrooms, dressing rooms, hair salons and collections. Made in Germany. The Sweet Georgia Brown Metal Sign brings the unmistakable charm of classic American grooming advertising to the wall. Bearing the words “Sweet Georgia Brown – Hair Dressing Pomade,” it celebrates a brand renowned since 1934 for legendary pomades, iconic packaging and one of the best-known fragrances in international pomade culture. Whether displayed in a professional barbershop, a home bathroom or a private collection, the sign creates a distinctive nostalgic accent. At a glance, it shows that classic grooming and authentic vintage style have found their proper home. A Legendary Brand in a Classic Advertising Style Sweet Georgia Brown originally formed part of the range created by the Valmor Products Company of Chicago. The brand’s vivid colours, bold figures and instantly recognisable artwork made its packaging and advertising particularly distinctive as early as the 1930s. This metal sign captures that characteristic advertising style. Its strong colours and nostalgic typography evoke historical American barbershops, drugstores and beauty shops, where highly visible branded signs told customers which grooming products were available inside. Multi-Level Embossed Artwork The artwork is not simply printed onto the surface. Lettering, contours and selected details are embossed into the stable sheet steel on several levels. This gives the design an attractive three-dimensional quality and a noticeably premium appearance. The gentle curvature provides additional stability and makes the artwork appear particularly lively. Rich colour printing creates clear contrasts and ensures that the sign remains an eye-catching feature even when viewed from a distance. Extra-Strong and Durable Sheet Steel The sign is manufactured from especially robust sheet steel. Its substantial material, cleanly finished edges and rounded corners provide a high-quality feel and excellent durability. Unlike thin decorative signs, it feels solid and retains its shape. This makes it an excellent choice for permanent displays, busy barbershops and private rooms furnished with carefully selected vintage pieces. Quick and Easy to Mount Four pre-drilled holes in the corners make installation straightforward. Depending on the mounting surface, the sign can be attached to a wall, door or retail fixture using screws, nails or suitable hooks. Its practical 20 × 30 cm dimensions require relatively little wall space while remaining large enough to display the artwork and Sweet Georgia Brown lettering to full effect. Ideal for Barbershops and Retailers In a barbershop or hair salon, the sign serves not only as decoration but also as an elegant brand marker. It lets customers know that Sweet Georgia Brown products are available and encourages them to discover this historic grooming name. It looks particularly effective beside a display of Sweet Georgia Brown Pomades, Sweet Georgia Brown Hair Tonic or Sweet Georgia Brown Cocoanut Oil Shampoo, creating a coordinated retail presentation with authentic historical character. Ideal Locations for the Metal Sign Barbershops and traditional hair salons Bathrooms and private grooming areas Dressing rooms, home bars and gentlemen’s rooms Rock ’n’ roll, pomade and Americana collections Vintage shops and retail spaces Workshops, garages and hobby rooms As a gift for Sweet Georgia Brown fans and pomade enthusiasts Benefits at a Glance Official Sweet Georgia Brown artwork in a classic advertising style Made from extra-strong, shape-retaining sheet steel Gently curved surface Detailed multi-level embossing Richly coloured, finely detailed print Rounded corners Four pre-drilled mounting holes Ideal for barbershops, bathrooms and collections Individually protected in a plastic sleeve Made in Germany Care Remove dust and light dirt with a dry or slightly damp soft cloth.

Das Pomade-Buch – The World’s Only Specialist Book About Pomades and Hair Tonics The comprehensive reference work on authentic hair styling and grooming products from the 1920s to the 1950s. Across 320 richly illustrated pages, author and PomadeShop founder Stan Soldan explores the history of pomades, hair tonics, hair creams and natural-bristle brushes. Featuring more than 250 historical advertisements and vintage and contemporary product images. High-quality second-edition hardcover with sewn binding. Written entirely in German. Das Pomade-Buch was the world’s first and remains the only comprehensive specialist book devoted entirely to the history of traditional pomades, hair tonics and related grooming products. It has been created for enthusiasts of classic men’s grooming as well as curious readers, collectors, barbers, hairdressers and anyone wishing to understand the origins of modern hairstyling. Author Stan Soldan is one of the pioneers of the modern pomade revival in Europe. In 2008, he founded PomadeShop, the first specialist store for classic hair styling products, and played a major role in introducing an almost forgotten grooming product to a new generation. Years of research, historical advertising, rare product images and first-hand experience gained while building PomadeShop form the foundation of this exceptional reference work. Authentic hair styling products from the 1920s to the 1950s For many decades, pomade was the essential styling product for well-groomed hairstyles. It shaped side parts, slick backs, pompadours and carefully arranged waves long before hair gel, hairspray and modern styling waxes entered the market. Das Pomade-Buch explains how products, hairstyles, advertising and grooming habits changed throughout the decades. Its subject is not limited to pomade but encompasses the entire world of classic hair care, from hair tonics and brilliantines to hair creams and traditional natural-bristle brushes. What you will discover The history of pomade and its most important manufacturers Authentic hair styling products from the 1920s to the 1950s Traditional oil-based pomades and their different degrees of hold Hair tonics, hair oils, brilliantines and hair creams Classic men’s hairstyles and historical styling routines The role of natural-bristle brushes in grooming, shine and shaping Historic packaging, tins, bottles and label designs More than 250 vintage advertisements and historical and modern product images Background knowledge gathered through years of research and practical experience Insights into the rediscovery of pomade and the creation of PomadeShop More than a reference book Das Pomade-Buch is simultaneously a cultural history, illustrated volume and personal journey of discovery. Historical advertisements and product images reveal the importance once placed on well-groomed hair, an attractive fragrance and an immaculate appearance. The book recalls a time when hair care was a deliberate daily ritual. Products were carefully selected, used economically and worked precisely into the hair with a comb or brush. It is therefore also a tribute to craftsmanship, durable products and a tradition-conscious approach to grooming. Who is Das Pomade-Buch for? Pomade and hair-tonic enthusiasts Barbers, hairdressers and barbering students Collectors of historical grooming products and advertising Fans of the 1920s to the 1950s Enthusiasts of classic men’s hairstyles Readers interested in cultural, design and advertising history Anyone wishing to learn about sustainable and traditional hair care A high-quality gift for gentlemen, barbers and pomade enthusiasts About the author Stan Soldan Stan Soldan rediscovered pomade as “the hair gel of our grandparents” at a time when this traditional styling product had almost completely disappeared from public awareness. By founding PomadeShop in 2008, he made traditional pomades and hair tonics accessible again in Europe. His meticulous search for historical products, forgotten brands, vintage advertisements and authentic application techniques eventually led to the creation of this book. The focus is not the author himself but the fascinating history of the products. Every pomade tin, hair-tonic bottle and natural-bristle brush tells a story of past beauty ideals, craftsmanship and a distinctive grooming culture.
