Thought i would share this sign. Just took it down from the original shop today. The Midas part was painted over after they quit with Midas but it remained a muffler shop for years. Took a while but finally got all the paint off. Will put a pic of the back up, is way too heavy for me to pick up by myself. Double sided porcelain made by Federal and both sides are MINT, Awesome gloss. Just thought i would share as this is my first porcelain neon. (had a neon rexall sign but only the face)
Thanks
Robert

Just Curious.

Hey, It was a buisness that was still open and running so this sign was not free. In Ohio i found most my signs at dumps for free but down here i havent found anything for free lol. I found a killer porcelain neon hotel sign down here that I am trying to buy right now, I bumped my offer up to $10,000 the other day and he said that would probably work so now im just waiting on the phone call.
Thank You Oilman,
Forgive my very late reply.
I have been absent from CW for some time.
Being Married has really cramped my collecting style.
Been looking but have not pulled the trigger on anything new in some time.
I did have some brisk sales over the Holiday Season.
All the Best to your Biz in 13!!!!!
