Thank you for sharing your story. It is greatly appreciated ! These signs are art and culture ! I have been looking for and image of a sign my dad had made for his gas station in the 50's. It had an animated arrow of bulbs progressively illuminating the way into the station. It had the address 401 flashing and bars of neon too. Eventually after it stopped working , it ended up and the roof, forgotten. There was another sign across College St. in Toronto, for the Mars restaurant, stating food was out of this world. Gone but not forgotten.

Beautiful collection of vintage neon signs. Thank you for taking the time and trouble to create an outstanding video with interview, old photographs and telling the provenance of some of your signs. Great job!

i remember seeing so many of this as a kid. great memories. I once owned a _GE Appliances_ neon sign (8 ft tall) that I salvaged from a business that was closing in the 80s. it went into storage in 1987 when I left the USA for 20 years. unfortunately I did not keep up the storage payments and I have no idea where it ended up. it would have looked great in this display venue...

Mr. Brown I own one of the original Red Goose signs that went on the top of your Hugo shoe store sign. I spent many trips to Hugo to try and buy the complete sign but the owner would not sell it too me. I acquired the sign from a man that bought. both sides of the red goose at an auction in Kansas many years ago.I enjoyed your tour on you tube and thought you might find it interesting to know where at least one of the Red Goose signs went. I also have a few original porcelain neons in my collections. Barry
