Double Sided Punched Tin. A stunning example of this C. 1910's punched tin "Drugs" sign featuring interior illumination and a wonderful original green paint scheme. This sign would have been suspended above the front door of a turn-of-the-century drug store and soda fountain. The sign retains its original center can, as well as, all of its original interior lighting fixtures. A modern power cord has been added to this sign for safety. The sign lights up beautifully and displays incredibly. CONDITION: Both sides of the sign feature a smalt finish in the field of the sign. There are areas of scuffing and scratching throughout the field, but nothing distracting or offensive to the sign's display-ability. The rounded edges of the sign's self frame show areas of denting and paint loss, but are nonetheless all complete. There are some areas with white over-paint on the rolled edge as well. The metal corner piece in the bottom right corner on one side of the sign is missing. The sign hangs from two bolts protruding from the top of the sign, which currently have short chain segments attached.
This is not a standard shippable item and will require 3rd party shipping or pickup arrangements to be made.

Item Dimensions: 73" x 7" x 30 - 1/2".
