This sign was for sale in an antique shop on the NY Vermont border. I saw it and immediately imagined what it could become, so I had to have it. It was just the front skin, so I had to make a can for it. Then it was down to my friends shop to have the glass put on. Putting it bluntly, the guy is an artist. I'm super happy with the way it turned out, exactly as I had it pictured in my mind, only better. Paul
