Description: Pictured is a super cool and unique vintage beauty parlor/hair salon advertising sign. I'm unsure of its origins, but my guess is that this sign used to hang in a storefront and may have also rotated. It's likely one of a kind and would have been designed for a specific retail location. It remains in good condition with no rust or indications that it was ever really exposed to the elements, so it was probably under a roof or overhang. The sign is composed of plastic panels with metal framing, is double-sided, illuminated and features woman portraits/silhouettes with her hair blowing in the wind. There is a Gulf Development, Inc. manufacturer sticker on the bottom with a date of July 1980. It appears that this company has since gone out of business. The sign originally had two fluorescent bulbs mounted inside and the wiring was original, however, the component was shot. Just a matter of old wiring and the sign likely not being used in at least 20 years or so. I removed the entire component and replaced it with a standard lamp socket and cord. See photos. I placed a bright bulb inside and the sign looks great lit up! A few scratches are present in places on the black borders and within the sign. The shadow outline seen around the silhouettes when the sign is lit is a result of a border within the plastic and just appears to be the way it was designed. Measurements: 32" long x 12" deep x 22" tall Weight: 15 lbs. Other than potentially being used at another salon location, this sign would look great in a home bar, lounge, game room or covered outdoor patio area. Feel free to ask any questions.
