One of two single-faced, porcelain enamel Rexall Drugs signs in the Museum's collection. Both signs can be seen on the circa 1930s drug store in the Museum's "Signs on Main Street" display of vintage storefronts.

Single-faced DRUGS is a very early neon sign, possibly dating from before the 1920s. It is 12 ft. in length and features embossed text and ornamental tin borders. A brass tag on the bottom of the sign cabinet reads, "PATENTED Jan. 19, 1915 - July 4, 1916 - Mch. 16, 1915 - July 18, 1916 - June 26, 1917." The neon has been dismantled while the sign is in storage.

The 6-ft. wide Ford oval sign is double-faced with neon illumination and features ripple tin faces and pressed tin ornamental borders. The sign will be left unrestored, except for the neon that needs to be replaced on one side of the sign.

A mid-to-late 1930s neon sign manufactured by the prolific Artkraft Co. (Lima, OH) probably advertised the comfort of the newly introduced phenomenon of air conditioning at a local theatre.

The 7 ft. neon and incandescent-illuminated drugstore sign was discovered in Los Angeles. Judging from the ripple tin sign face and early porcelain housings, this vintage Alka Seltzer sign is easily mid-1930s, but possibly earlier. The glass face of the sign features a reverse, hand-painted pictorial.

"Write-It-Urself" neon display is a circa 1930 neon edge-lit, glass-faced menuboard-an apparent precursor to the "neon" fluorescent menuboards that became popular in the late 1980s. The 18 x 24-in. countertop display is double-sided and was manufactured by Stewart-Warner.

The 43 x 65-in. double-faced Dolly Madison tin sign is hand-painted and illuminated by neon tubing. All of the text is push-through embossed opal glass, including the Dolly Madison silhouette oval, which is hand-painted. The circa 1930 sign was manufactured at the Philadelphia, PA plant of Mulholland-Harper Co. It is in excellent condition.

This rare 1930s era ornamental neon clock was manufactured by Federal Neon Clock Company, Philadelphia, PA. The clock's face is 24 in. in diameter; overall clock is approximately 36 in. wide (including marquee) and 34 in. tall. It is currently being restored.

The double-faced, porcelain-enamel neon sign promoting "Weaving-Alterations" is typical of production signs in the 1930s. This particular sign is in excellent condition with high gloss.
