Very very cool.
The holes and slots look like it may once have had neon around the disc. have you given a though to adding it back?

This sign never had Neon on it, the slots on the top are from where the hangars attache (heavy Duty as you can imagine) the other holes are just where the bolts are. I've had some luck cleaning up a porcelain sign like that with some simple "Soft Scrub with Bleach" it worked well on the whites, just watch how much pressure you apply, then wax and buff.
Great sign, if you ever want to sell, let me know

Nice sign Gmar,
I was trying to find it in one of my CC collector guides, but could not.
Is it pictured in one?
Was Hayman the name of the store where it was originally mounted?

Thanks signguy, I will try that on the white part. Yes what looks like holes are bolts attaching the parts together. The "Hayman"probably was the restuarant name. They think it was from Kansas City. Would love to find an old picture of it.
