Rare and impressive Coca-Cola building neon sign. Beautiful and rare form and construction from the 1930s and made by Flexlume Electrical Advertising Co. in Buffalo, New York. Construction consists of an enclosed script can (roughly six inches deep) and still bearing the Flexlume embossed metal tag. Floated out just over two inches off the can are beautiful stainless steel script letters for the logo, which are backlit by neon tubing. Some tubing is broken and some steel on the can and lettering has small dents, bends, or breaks. The wiring is all cut and sign is not currently operational, but anyone buying the piece would want it detailed for their indoor display regardless. We have file photos that show the sign displayed in recent years in New York City in Mighty Quinn’s BBQ Restaurant. The sign is believed to have originated in or around New York City. The sign has weight, but is made in two sections with bar framework on the back of the cans. A great item and likely the only one of it’s type in existence!!
Condition: (Very Good).
Item Dimensions: Largest: 117" L x 62" T x 8.5" W.
