Item History and Pricing
| Type of Advertising: Lighted Hanging Sign | Brand: Original Hoffman House Rye |
Here is a piece out of my late husband's personal collection. Unit alone is 12.5" top to bottom and 11" wide. Dome front and back with metal strips holding the 2 pieces of illustrated reverse painted glass together. Back has damage where the light bulb was too hot ruining the paint. Beautiful bright colors in fine condition, showing nymphs, naked women, dancing around a satyr, man part goat. The dark spot on the letter B is dirt under the reverse paint, not flaking. No brea...ks to the glass. Metal has damage as you can see in the photos. I have no idea if it works. Bob just hung it from the wire you can see. Light bulb and fixture remains tight within the glass, it does not wobble around. Sorry about the glare and shading. Tried to get the best photos possible. All payment to get the item to the winner is the winners responsibility, this means ins. too, which is difficult to know at this time since this is auction style. Photos show condition. Thanks for viewing.
