As you guys know I really like neons. So I was wondering does anyone else here like the flashy stuff. Here are a few of mine now does anybody else have a sample of noble gas and glass to show.

Ron , I take pics with my wife's I phone then resize on her phone , using medium size option. Then I e mail from her phone to my e mail and reopen on the I pad , save photo to camera roll and post straight to old gas. This the easiest way for me. I still use camera and lab top , but this is way faster and easier for me ..... Ray your shop is super , the caddie and the flying mobil really make it !Everyone else's items are very nice as well .

The fire department sign is cool as are the 76 stuff. Also like the mini pegasus above. Saw one this weekend in Kansas on a pump hunt.

OOps, I lied about only having one! I forgot about this early Quaker State neon, because I don't have it on display yet! Makes two for me, but that's it!

I have a few but this is my favorite. It is one of a kind. 6ft long, 2 sided, hand painted. Was outside above the doorway of a place 10 minutes from my home. People on the sidewalk and cars on the road could see it from blocks away.

Craig, Is the BSA from the States? Unusual item for there. They had the best gas tank motifs. The bikes themselves weren't the best machines around but they sure looked good. And the Mobilgas neon is spectacular as well but that goes without saying...just saying

The BSA was on a motorcycle shop three blocks from the house my dad and I lived when I was in High school in North Portland. Waited 30 years to get it. There was an interesting story with its removal also. They had a couple other brands on the post also, but this is the one I was lucky enough to get.
