Description
Scarce DSP (double sided porcelain) neon sign with two SSP (single sided porcelain) signs mounted back to back on the factory can has excellent color and gloss. Only one side has neon tubing. The neon display features a flasher that alternates between the internal lettering and the external ring. The field is very clean overall with flea bites and small chips at the neon support stands. The perimeter has small chips at mount tabs. The lower Ignition Control SSP (single sided porcelain) has clean fields with a small chip on the upper edge. The reverse does not have glass tubing and is similar to the display with an additional eraser sized chip in the lower edge of the first "8". The lower Ignition Control SSP (single sided porcelain) has minor factory imperfections in the field with light wear and small edge chips. The factory can and ring feature original paint with general age related wear. Marked Modern Neon Sign Co. Kalamazoo. All in all a unique X-cel 88 Gasoline Neon sign with strong eye appeal. 61" H x 48" W x 7.5" D. Condition: 9C.
