Description |
A narrow, rectangular, neon sign. There is a long line of tubing that has been shaped and formed into the word [CLEANERS] which takes up the entire length and width of the sign. The word [CLEANERS] is connected to the main base of the sign by little loops of wiring wrapped around the "C, E, A, E, S." On parts of the underside of each letter there are black markings. There are two chains on the top of the sign which appear to have been connected at some point. The chain on the left is loosely resting 8" in from the edge and the chain on the right is resting loosely 3" in from the other edge. |
