This is the original artwork created by the Vounteer Neon Company out of Chattanooga, TN in the 1950s.
The client was "Fowler's Furniture and Appliances" and this artwork represents the proposal for their neon sign.
The piece is artist signed "Winkler" and is an impressive 36" X 26" in an era plain black frame.
Along with this piece, I also have the artwork for a used car lot from the same era. I will post it later.
