Very cool.  So was it just an old sign hanging for an old ice cream shop?   Also, is that the original color of white on the light up portion (assume it lights up)?

Thanks, not sure what to do with it. Just glad I was able to seal the deal.

I know where another one is..so time to concentrate on number 2.

love the sign. Even better when you know where it once hung.

Here's one I have been admiring for a long time.

Yeah, that makes up for the Galaxie Dispenser. Youll find another dispenser. These signs just hanging around in the wild are getting few and far between.

Good story! Great find! I know a place in Wisconsin where it could hang if you run out of room at your place.  :biggrin:
