    Generally how old are these signs Mike? We have nothing like that where I live, I really like them.

    @charliedontsurf @johnnymao I would estimate this sign before the 1970's, and if I was to lay a bet I would say the 1950's. This particular sign has recommended by Duncan Hines, a cake company and AAA. Not sure if that cake company is known outside the United States. I would bet that Joplin donut sign is fairly recent, probably near this century. Real neon signs are quite expensive to maintain and there are now inexpensive substitutes that impersonate neon quite well. I photographed numerous signs here and some are definitely from the 1940's.
