Hi Team
Before I trek to Peotone to try my luck, does anyone in the northeast have a UM neon sign, both sides with original can for sale. Neon or not (actually better if shipping without but i could pick up). I like the 36 inch wide version but will look at any.
I live in MD/DC area.
Thanks
Jay

Hmm, he's a little slow updating his website then. Sorry, I tried.

Thanks for the notes. Thought I would try. This is one of my 'one that got away' stories.
I'm sure it would be a great auction but not sure i want to drive all the way there and come back empty handed. Don't seem to have as much luck online. And that 20% buyers premium - yikes.

Guys,
What about the United Motors that has been split into two? Just has one face with neon.
Are they worth the investment??

if the sign is in good condition, it is worth that by itself. with a can and neon installed, i would say around $2300 is retail. jmo

I was in the Longbeach Antique Mall in Longbeach ca. last week, there was a neon sign hanging there, did not pay attention to whether it was two sided or not.
