Description |
A rectangular shaped neon sign. There are four horizontal tubes running across the sign. In-between the first and second cross tubes, a long set of tubing has been shaped into the word [CLEANER.] In-between the third and fourth tube, more tubing has been shaped and formed into [& HATTER.] Running vertically along the backside of the sign are two tubes. All of the horizontal and vertical tubing are connected to the main base of the sign by little loops of wiring. At the top of the sign a metal clothes hanger has been attached apparently to be used as extra support when hanging the sign. There's also a metal chain connected at both ends by some wiring apparently used to assist in hanging the sign. |
