Wondering if this sign only came with fluorescent bulbs or if the incandescent could be original?

...I'm thinking the incandescent is original...I bet the front is more interesting, though...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

If it originally were fluorescent, the back panel would have some holes at each end for the fluorescent connectors and holes for a transformer and maybe a starter. I don't see any unused screw holes, so I say original.

...that's what I was thinking: if there had previously been a fluorescent set-up, there would be some evidence of it...
