This whole website started out as a gallery page of my own personal beer and distillery neon signs in my collection.
Then my collection expanded and the signs became more diverse in the advertizement.
As I have sold signs over the years,
I have left the information pertaining to it on the pages throughtout this site.
I like to leave the neon sign reference information available for others.
You can bookmark this page for reference information on older neon beer signs.
Beer neons still in my personal collection have click-able thumbnails and list the sign's condition.
I try and list as much information about the signs as I know.
Maybe I can be a help to you determining what you already have.
Or maybe you'll discover something new you did not know.
Then again, maybe you will find there is something you need in your collection!

- Comments: This sign works great. The 'H' is a little dim near the very end. If this sign
is left on for over 5 to 6 hours, the transformer will start to hum. This sign is all
original and working so I do not feel the need to replace the transformer.
Miller Lite Beer Seafood Display
- Model #: OAB560.
- Production date: September 1994.
- Condition: Excellent. Used and very clean.
- Colors: 4 colors total. The word 'LITE' glows in a brilliant light blue. The fish outline
lights in a mellow pink. There are nice green accents above and below the fish outline.

- Comments: This sign is a very rare one. I bought this sign still new in the box in 1999.
It was 5 years old at that time, and never before displayed. I displayed it for 3 years in
my fish room. Of that 3 years time, I think it has a whole 4 or 5 days' worth of actual
'On - Time'. I never even unloosened the cord from the factory style of wrapping because
the outlet was right at the sign's hanging spot. About two years ago I took the sign down
when fish tank arrangements needed it's space. I put this sign back into it's original
carton and stored it in my neon attic undisplayed. This sign is completely original
including carton, complete with the hanging materials. If you own a restaurant or bar that
serves Miller Lite beer and fish dinners, here's your ideal sign to bring in more
business!

to hang in a window as most neons are. Don't be fooled by it's appearance. On this sign
all illumination is from neon tubing. The plastic covers protect the tubes. Kind of like a
channel neon sign you see over a storefront.

- Comments: This sign is rare, scarce might be a better word. The wolf's eyes slowly fade
in and out slowly to give the impression the wolf is staring at you. Very cool effect.

always admired it, and when the opportunity arose to purchase it I did along with 3 others.
The bar owner sprayed some flat primer over the tubes to tone down the intensity of this sign.
I have not tried to change that.

eBayŽ!

states of broken parts. This particular one suffered a broken border tube. Now that I
replaced that tube with a good one, this old sign flashes it's message again just as it
did in 1974. Another classic neon beauty, even with the peeling block-out paint. I think
the peeling paint gives this neon sign character!

I really like the two different shades of blue. The teal and green are nice offsetting shades too.
As I am listing this neon sign onto this website, I have a local offer of $200.00 for it.
