OK collectors, here is another one that you don't see everyday. All metal, reverse painted glass, fluorescent backlit counter top sign. She is an oldie but, a goodie. This sign is from Neon Products in Lima Ohio before they were known as NPI. Neon Products made mountains of neon signs up through and after WWII. Towards the end of the war, as neon started to loose it's appeal, they started making fluorescent backlit signs as their mainstay in production. Now, this sign, has a production tag on the top, but, I cannot find any markings on it nor any indents from a pencil tip.

That material would not have been available during the war unless used for war production. I also don't think it is any newer than 1952 as you don't see this verbiage used when the "super's" came out in '53. I'm certainly no old sign expert and if someone can come up with a better dateline than that, I'll gladly change this listing.So, what we have here is an all metal sign.
