Condition/Comments: Beautiful illuminated sign with simple yet bold and impactful design. Manufactured by Gillco, the most desirable manufacturer of vintage signs thanks to the high quality of manufacture. Referred to as a Glow sign. The Gill Glass Company (Gillco) and Central Lighting and Fixture Company were one and the same. Gill Glass employed the glass artists of the company and Central Lighting and Fixture employed the folks that designed and fabricated the fixture portion of the lights, chandeliers, wall sconce etc. So in the case of this Fort Pitt Special Beer Light - Gill Glass fired the 14Ó reverse painted glass advertising lens and Central Lighting and Fixture fabricated the metal cabinet that holds the lens. About 15 x 3 inches. All original. For more info or questions regarding this lot contact Dan via email.
