around here they are differnt from the 80's

I took it to a shop that does neon and he said by his guess it would be mid 50's early 60"

So I really dont know

There was one for sale in Payson, AZ last year. Just like it and was priced at $1200. I offered $800 but couldn't make a deal. I didn't really have the room for it at the time and I was concerned the neon wasn't working.
