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 is in Excellent (EXL) condition overall, but does have a few of the dings from wind blown objects that are commonly seen on these signs. However, two medium sized dings, one on the tail of the horse, and another in the lower chest area of the horse are the only significant blemishes to the porcelain. Like all of our collectible signs, this large roadside, vintage neon Mobil Pegasus sign is sold in original, unrestored condition as pictured.

All neon restored by our in house glass blowers, who have blown new glass using the same techniques and materials that were used for the original neon. Also, any electrical parts including wiring and solid state transformers have been replaced. The neon features a separate on/off toggle pull cord as pictured.
