Like all of our collectible signs, this vintage Hood Tires service sign is sold in original, unrestored condition as pictured. We do not believe in restoring old signs because it is our belief that every ding, dent, and blemish is part of the story and history of the item. This sign certainly shows its age, and both sides of the sign have a fair share of dings and dents throughout the sign face. This sign was almost certainly displayed outdoors for many years as there appears to be evidence of damage from the sign being struck by wind blown objects. The graphics and lettering on the sign all remain clean and readable, making it a great example of this now over 80-year-old item. This vintage Hood Tires service sign grades in Very Good/Good (VG/G) condition overall. The only exception to this rule is the 101 point, museum quality neon, and electrical restoration, which is done under the supervision of, certified, and signed by award winning artist H.J. Nick as meeting all world class fine are qualifications. This certification means each item bearing his signature is backed by over 100 years of manufacturing world class fine art handmade furnishings, and restoring America's finest collectibles to original, museum quality condition.
