Comments/description: This vintage illuminated sign has a sturdy metal case and a thick, early plastic ad panel. The lettering is a classic rounded font which pops nicely with the red, white and blue colors. When lit, this sign Glows beautifully! NOTE: we have seen another example of this sign with all white lettering. This could be a different variation or the colors could be added post-factory. All items are original unless otherwise noted.
