This is a neon advertising counter sign that I found at auction.
The Clarion radio company was one of so many tabletop tube bakelite brands that dominated the 40s and 50s era. While not an expensive radio, I own one that's in great original working order.
One of these signs is on ebay right now but it's not mine. I would never sell this, I like it too much! I was shocked when I saw it tonight so I decided to post mine here.

Thanks Tom, oilman514 and cck97! The auction was a very cool one to watch and all the signs went for serious money. There was a Coca Cola counter neon sign that I wanted too but it was bid way out of my comfort zone. I think it sold for around $2,100! Thx toolate.
