c. 1930s-1940s; mfd. by The Neon Products Inc. for Clarion Radio Corporation - Chicago, IL
Compact countertop lighted advertising display featuring a reverse-painted glass panel reading "Clarion Radio," flanked by small illustrated figures blowing horns. The sign is housed within a pressed metal case finished in a textured red paint with horizontal metallic banding, giving it a streamlined, machine-age presence. When illuminated, the glass panel glows warmly from within via neon tubing, highlighting the layered paintwork and border graphics while revealing areas of age and loss that contribute to its visual depth.
The interior neon remains functional, casting an even backlight across the sign panel. The reverse-painted glass shows expected wear, with scattered losses and spotting visible when lit, while the exterior case retains a well-worn but intact finish. The original cord exits from the rear panel, and mounting loops are present along the back edge, offering multiple display options.
