I started collecting signs and petrolina back in the late 70's, before everyone was into it. Now I am starting to let some of the stuff go, and focus on new collections. This 48" x 48" Shell Clamshell is demensional, actually shaped like a shell. I sold this one several weeks ago.

didnt i just see this sign for sale on e-bay?
Mickielikesign2, There are a lot of the flat shell signs on ebay, but very few of this large demensional sign, especially in this condition. I did sell this one on e-bay but that was about a year ago.
This post is in violation of collectors weekly rules.
was this originally neon sign ?? great sign !!!!!!!!
No, I think if it were a neon sign it would have had holes for the glass tubeing to come through.
