 He will take 250 dollars for it. There used to be neon on it and its been repainted. He said there was a drug store name on it before. i believe he said the size is 16 by 10 ft. Would you guys take a chance or pass. Im hoping there porcelain under all that paint.

Dustin,
This sign is right up Big Daddy Dave's alley. He loves big signs. I am surprised he hasn't commented. At 250 you did OK. Love the mid-century, kinda of a Jetson, look.

Spend the $250.00 on your wife....that would be a better investment.

Signs that large are difficult to move, store, protect and SELL! Other than you, you may not find a buyer? I'd pass and forget I ever saw it. You'll be a lot happier you did. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Great price on it and if you have the space and xtra cash and desire to look at it for awhile then you should go for it!
I like it but it's not something I would get because of space and subject. Cool look to it tho.
I did see a nice porcelain neon sign for a laundry mat but I gotta stick to what I have at the moment.
There are a few around here that I would make room for if they came my way!

Great sign... totally disregard the haters... I've seen the diamonds used in all types of signs. Shops, bowling alleys, even dealerships. The great thing about a painted sign is you can repaint it anything you want.
