In the 1880’s porcelain signs were introduced in Europe , then USA started making them in the late 1800;s. Different colors of Powdered glass was stenciled  then fused by baking to rolled steel , then in later times the powder was silk screened to the steel.

Neon signs……Vintage Neon Porcelain signs

Neon signs moved to America in the late 1920’s and became very popular. The 1st neon sign was introduced in 1912 to a Paris Barber. Because these signs were also expensive to make as these glass tubes were hand blown & bent to form the letters or graphics. Then they were then filled with inert gases or neon, processed and then hooked to a high voltage transformer to get the desired effect.  As a result these tubes were very fragile and often times they broke.  Later in the 1940’s & 50’s these custom made  signs were made in smaller quantities for business’s like Auto Dealerships, Clubs, Bars , Restaurants, etc. .. Mass produced modern neon signs  have also become popular with collectors. Most of all these brands are Soda, Beer, Candy, Tobacco and other up coming events.
