Beautiful Ponies!! Does adding neon do anything to the value of the signs? I have not gotten any signs yet but would like to and just love what neon adds to them.

Every now and then something comes along in the hobby that makes you just stop in your tracks. And only an original piece can really do that. Seeing these two beauty's flying again is incredible!
Thanks for sharing! Would love to see them again once you get them settled into that great looking building!

I second that!
Having two neon Peg rotators isn't fair. They are killer!! something you don't see everyday.
They look great......Congrats.

The one in Dallas is still on top of the old Magnolia building. It was restored in 1999 and looks great at night!

I remember that sign from when I was a kid in Dallas. Unfortunately I've never been in Dallas at night since they redid it.
I've never seen it lit up but in pictures.
