Looks like it had neon at one time with the glass stand holes. Can't see the housing holes though.

I probably wear you guys out with some of my posts but I went the neon guy today and dropped of the paper with the traced block letters and here is a couple pics of the green tube he will make the letters with , I didn't have to take the sign as I first thought but will install neon myself and learn something hopefully, maybe how to break it ? I just wanted to share with you all . Travis
