Wow! what an awesome looking sign!
It sure was meant to be yours ...
Is this sign considered "CUSTOM"?

Very nice, original porcelain neon sign. Nothing custom about that one.

Since you mention: "Nothing custom about that one".
Do you or others have seen this sign before?
1- With Neon 2- Without
There is a reason why I am asking ...

He's a nice guy, but when there is a third party involved, I usually expect the price to go up if there is a problem.........Of coarse, at this point, I would have paid several hundred dollars to get this sign working properly.

My friend has a porcelain sign advertising the porcelain sign company in Meridian Mississippi that made your sign. He's also one of these guys who NEVER sells anything.
Neat sign.

Tom, I'm a preacher here and I while I'm not one of those "prosperity" preachers, I do believe that " Whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap".... YES....It paid off big time!

Will do, John. I didn't see the name of the company in your pic,just the city, but I can't imagine there was more than one company in Meridian-it's not exactly a metropolis.

great sign - those were made by Walker also - and I have owned them in various sizes - some are REALLY big. That is a great size you have for most. Good find!

I had the " b " replaced because it was cracked. It's a little differnt color because the other neon is very old, but I didn't want to redo the neon on the whole sign....

sorry I don't have exact dimensions - but as I recall this smaller one (shown in this post) is roughly 7-8' and I had a larger one that the porcelain was split into 2 panels (left/right) and overall size was approx 30" x 12'+. Hope that helps.
