Rare Firestone Neon Sign: Vintage Collectible Tin Litho Automobilia
This is an original Firestone neon strip sign that measures 6 feet (72 Inches) tall by 16 1/2 inches wide , and is on a 5 inch deep metal can (Total Weight 60 Pounds). It is a thick, heavy, genuine vintage tine litho sign, and is a single sided sign that was used as advertising at gas stations and auto repair shops. This is an original sign, and is dated 9-50 (September 1950) and made in the U.S.A. by M.C.A. (Massillon-Cleveland-Akron Sign Co). It has a primarily navy blue background with orange lettering, and white hanging wings on each side that have a red pinstripe just inside the outer edges, and 3 hanging holes on each side. The sign lights up with white neon around the border of the sign on both the inner and outer edges. The lettering of the word "FIRESTONE" lights up with orange neon.
Like all of our signs, this rare Firestone neon sign is in original, unrestored condition, and as can be seen in the pictures, this sign shows its age with its share of scuffs and scrapes, as it expected on a sign of this age and type. However, it is in overall Excellent/Very Good Plus (EXL/VG+) condition, and is an excellent example of this now over 70-years-old sign. The neon features a separate on/off toggle pull cord as pictured. It is just one of hundreds of authentic, collectible signs currently for sale from ArtFactory.com.
