Came across a Mobil neon and it has factory 5 holes in the face field. These are factory as the porcelain is on there with the little buildup as it would be around a hole. Question is what was this for if for and has anyone else come across this?
Thanks

A bigger picture so that there is no confusion with other signs. Five holes in question are on the right side on the side of the hoof. They make a rectangular box.

I noticed a couple of small brackets near the holes also.
I'd guess something to do with holding the transformer inside the can for the Double sided sign.

Or it may have had a mechanical flasher that was mounted there

Last night in bed thought just the same things on both thoughts. Maybe the place that they put the mechanics because it was close to the edge of the sign. Other ones I have had the bracket was in the bottom, but because the can was missing I could not see if that was the case.
Thanks

You guys are right. Just went and check the other sign and it is exactly the same. Only question is whether there was a right and left side or if each side had its own access to each transformer.
