Judging by the serial number there are more out there Mick! Keep looking, lol. That really is a neat item.
Neon was such a great advertising tool back then. I know in photos we have of Hillsdale at the historical society the downtown was just a glow in the 1930s and 40s, and it wasn't really a large town. I wish I could have walked some of the big cities back when neon signs were so heavily used. Really drew attention to anything it advertised.

That is very cool. Seller has a sand dial neon clock listed as well and a super cool 1948 International panel.
