Thanks for all the comments,
Dave the Chrome Trim is a plastic chrome trim, available in many sizes, pm me if you'd like the source.. I buy it in 20-30 ft rolls or if you want some, PM and I'll sell you some..
Josh,
the electrical swithc on the side, I'm not sure if original or not.. I'm guessing not but the guy I bought it from has had it since Coke gave it to him and he had it mounted on his old gas station in southern wisconsin, he said he put the switch on there so he could turn the neon on and off when he closed his shop down.. but keep the clock running..
I just left it as I too like to turn the neon on an off...

Yes, it's a Rustoleum Hammertone product, Color is called Verde Green and It's available at Menards,, possibly Home Depot or Lowes as well. Here is the link to the rustoleum site:

Also , I've attached a photo of the clock lit up... have to hang it on the wall yet ...
There are a couple of reflections in the face,,

Very nice job John ! ! !
You could replace the switch box with a weather proof toggle switch...
Or get a repro of the pull-chain switch available from Wayne's Neon Clocks, here's a photo:
Cleveland Pull-Chain Switch
The neon clock I purchased a few months back has one installed; looks/function great!
Just last month, I received my mounting bracket from Wayne's Clocks and have the clock hanging on the back patio.

My six cents,

Jim
