My neon signs are the real ones that were made to be displayed in bar windows, and have the rubber capped metal flat bars that keep the neon tubing from coming in contact with the window glass. These are not the cheap "game room" signs that were made for the general public and designed to be hung against a wall.

Note: ALL NEON SIGNS MUST BE PICKED UP IN THE SHOP; NO SHIPPING IS POSSIBLE DUE TO THE FRAGILE NATURE OF THE SIGNS.

Of course it works; I would not show you a clock that didn't. This one is the perfect clock for the game room or wet bar, or even a kitchen if you like the kitchen to be a bit different and not full of cows, chickens, pigs, strawberries, or whatever. As you can see, the clock offers a bit of dimension by having the white face below "Budweiser" tilted back and the gold wagon and team in front of it. The framed face of the clock measures just short of 13 1/2" square. There is no cover over the face; the hands are exposed, which seems to give it even more depth somehow. There is a small section of bead chain (the string is long gone) to pull to turn on the light behind the face. It is $65.00.

Not much Pearl stuff out there, so I'm glad to have this ashtray for you, and even more glad that it is in such good condition. It is actually in better condition than the pictures show; that cloudy area at the top of the red triangle in the picture on the right is not there anymore. I didn't see that until the pictures were loaded, and I have since cleaned that off, since it was on the inside and the paint is actually on the outside. So you have no scarred or missing paint, and not clouds, chips, or cracks to the glass, either. It measures just under 5" across, and it is only $14.00.

Not much Falstaff stuff available to collectors nowadays, so I am pleased to have this little piece for you. As you can see in the photos, the paint is in great shape, and the iridizing is in great shape too! No chips or cracks, so it will be a nice piece to add to your collection. It is not quite 3 1/2" in diameter. It is $16.00.

This is a nice sign, and while Coors is one of the more collectible brands, there is not as much available to collect it the brand. That is why I am so glad to have a neon sign for you. As with all my neons, it is in perfect condition with no broken or damaged tubes. The word Coors is actually very red in reality, not orange as it appears in the photo. This one is single action, and measures 32 3/4" x 11 3/4" from the rubber capped metal bars that keep it from touching the window. It is $175.00.

The surface of this one implies that it is the kind that has special 'wipe off' markers to be used with it. If you look carefully at the picture, however, you can see that in the bottom right hand corner, some bonehead has written his initials and circled them. That area is about the size of a quarter. It may come off with the proper cleaning fluid, but since I don't know for certain what fluid that might be, I hesitate to mess with it, especially since it is such a minor thing. There are some small nicks in the white surface, but nothing, I think, that would interfere with the presentation or the functionality of the board. Lone Star stuff is getting more difficult to acquire all the time, so I was willing to allow these small flaws. It measures 26 1/2" x 20 3/4" and it is $85.00.

Here we have the "Handy Keg" DRAFT BEER can bank from Lone Star Beer. It is made in the fashion of a 12 oz can, and it is NOT a can that has been made into a bank by an amateur, it is a bank that was factory made in the form of a can. The side that I have elected to photograph shows the most damage to the color; the other side is actually quite a bit nicer. Very presentable piece, it is $18.00.

This is the glass that used to come across the bar to you upended over the top of your opened longneck bottle. That was before taverns became such dives that the simple courtesy of a glass became unknown. This is the Shield logo, below which appears the legend "makes the most of nature's best". The paint is in excellent condition, with no fading or scratches. The glass measures 3 1/8" tall, and is $18.00.

Here is something I have 10 or 12 pieces of, all acquired at the same place, same time. These are the pressed paper/pasteboard Lone Star Beer coasters that were used in the bars and taverns once upon a time. These are unused, but are beginning to yellow with age from the outer edge toward the center. The front and back are identical. These are each about 3/32" thick, not quite 1/8", so they are rigid, not flexible at all. All of them are in excellent condition, just like the one pictured here, and they measure 4 1/4" in diameter. $3.00 each.
