Any guesses to what this neon "skeleton" was before I got a hold of it?

Can't tell, can't you put the pieces together by matching up the broken edges?

Hi Paul, this is all thats left, the rest was little shards and dust. It was an intact sign that survived for about 70 years, that is until I got it ! I thought I'd offer up a contest to see if anyone can guess what it advertised, maybe give a prize if there's any interest.

That probably made you say another four letter word starting with "F".

I don't believe that's the Ford neon from BOTW. Although, the Ford neon in the BOTW is also broken.

Heres an idea! Start out with photos of a couple of the pieces lined up that should go together and then add another piece every couple days until someone can make an educated guess!
