I have never had occasion to open this cased lighted sign, but judging byall thenewer broken, incomplete andnon-working signs (ranging $300-$450) already on , two (2) 15 Watt fluorescent bulbs comprise the internal illumination and wiringfor thisoldsign. A patina of surface dust,from 55 years storage,plus some of the older original saloon grime and environmental exposure as depicted, but fully functional and working!
For just a buck opening offer, you sure as hell can\'t go wrong or do better than this! Perfect foryour ownbar, basement, orperhaps youtruly appreciate the quintessential warm, gentle glow andsubtle seduction of neon - try it, youwill like it!
