Vintage Antique Steak N Shake Lighted Electric Clock Sign Car Hop Drive In Food

VINTAGE ANTIQUE STEAK N SHAKE LIGHTED ELECTRIC CLOCK SIGN CAR HOP DRIVE IN FOOD. Not one of the cheap Chinese knockoffs! This is an Authentic lighted clock; sign that was used in a Steak N Steak restaurant. 20″ wide x 17″ wide x 5 deep. Constructed of a metal back plate, chromed plastic frame, and plastic sign face and bubble clock cover. The clock motor is the quality electric Synchron motor, which are known for their quality and longevity. Runs smooth and has some face scratches as well as use wear. There is a knob on the rear to set the time. Illuminated by a single circline or round fluorescent tube with starter and transformer and works well. The clock displays great! It was an actual used clock in a Steak N’ Shake and does have scratches on the clear plastic and chrome plastic. Please note – the lights on the inside kind of all need to be replaced for it to be “restored”. 1 out of the 4 inside lights go in and out, about every 2 minutes annoying! I could absolutely get the LED lights restored and completely revamp this one-of-a-kind piece. But what fun would that be if this is for you? Take that fluorescent tube lighting out! Maybe replace with original, fix the little short (because it goes in and out I know the light is not gone completely) , or maybe make it modern and YOURS AND DO A COOL LED COLOR CHANGING LIGHTED BACKGROUND THAT GROOVES WITH MUSIC, a simple LED lighting, or motion activated. The possibilities are endless! This one of a kind wall decor came from a Steak’n Shake in Morrow, Georgia in 2004. Thank you for viewing and please be sure to view my other vintage, antique, and unique collectible items! Not mint but a very seldom seen item. Would make a great gift or add to your collection.

Vintage Backlit A&W ROOT BEER Soda Drive-In Car Hop Diner Fast Food Menu Sign #2

Original vintage A&W ROOT BEER STAND BACKLIT CAR SIDE MENU SIGN circa 1980s. Just like today with McD’s and the other fast food restaurants A&W signs were placed at fast food sites at the order station so you could figure out what you wanted. You would look at this lit menu sign, and when you decided what you wanted, you would push the intercom button and place your order. It has graphics of the food and drinks on a translucent plastic back, with the menu selections and prices listed. They usually had a light behind them so their graphics and fare would show up more distinctly. These remainders of the past were made obsolete by the fast food drive thru lanes. This menu sign has classic A&W graphics across the top. A hamburger, Onion Rings, a Hot Dog and of course, a frosty mug of their famous Root Beer. It also has about 50 menu items, and 5 ways to order your A&W Root Beer, including by the gallon. It measures 2′ feet by 1′ foot (or 24″ inches by 12″ inches). It is translucent plastic and was mounted in front of a lit holder / order station. This is the front lens only, and does not include the large stainless steel order station on a post. It frames nicely or is easily made into a thin backlit box that shows it off like it was originally. No cracks, bends nor warping. This is a companion to the larger sign we have up. There is the expected minor age fade patina, but it is bright and attractive and otherwise in great condition. Not many of these survived intact. It makes a unique addition to the basement Soda fountain or bar. When made into a light box, it is the perfect ambient light for collectors and exhibitors. Note – this is difficult to package due to it’s fragility, age and size. Do your part when you receive it and be very careful when you unpack it, to not damage the sign!

This item is in the category “Collectibles\Advertising\Soda\A&W”. The seller is “holpblots_1″ and is located in New York, New York. This item can be shipped to United States.
