Guys I wish I had some before photos, but I don't. The restoration is top notch. I'm going off of what it looked like on the backside, there were some hits, but I don't think this sign was terrible before it was restored. I'm not 100%, but I believe Christiansen did there's rotation some 15+ years ago.

I believe this was once my sign, it's been around but is a great piece. I agree with John as I did when I had it, based on the backside I can't believe the damage was bad on the front. At one time I had a picture of the front before restoration but I can't find it in my file

Just adding my 2 cents here and not trying to offend anyone but just so a newbie who might invest in a restored sign knows the process. When these signs are restored, their done using automotive fillers, paint and clear coats and are not restored with porcelain.
Thanks

Correct, the sign is originally porcelain. The restoration is done with filler & paint.
