Few original ARP signs are still in situ but affixed high up on the wall of Cullompton Town Hall in Devon is this beauty - ARP FIRST AID POINT - on the far left of the image. I'm guessing the position it occupies has seen it survive the many decades without being removed or pinched. Shows how good quality they were. It appears there are two different styles of cross - one red and one white in a red circle.  Cullompton Town Hall with ARP FIRST AID POINT sign

Original WW2 ARP and Civil Defence signage is avidly collected. The prices paid for these signs has been rising as shown by the single-sided enamel sign below selling for £824 (including shipping) on eBay recently (November 2022).  WW2 air raid "SHELTER HERE" enamel sign There are a number of designs of WW2 ARP and Civil Defence signs, a number have black on yellow lettering. This black-on-yellow enamel example, measuring 9" x 9", is identical in layout to a red-on-white version (some examples also have 'Wardens' Post'). Thanks to Phil Hodges for sharing the images of the sign.
 Red ARP Warden Post Enamel Sign I have seen a blue version of this Air Raid Warden name plate before made by Caxton Name Plate Manufacturing Company Limited. Below is a red coloured version. Currently available on eBay.  Currently up for sale on eBay is this enamel sign. There are quite a number of designs made during the war but these yellow ones appear to be particularly scarce.
