Despite the increasing popularity of CFLs and LEDs, I still love the warm glow and aesthetic design of a traditional incandescent. After all, I can't imagine lighting up a good, old-fashioned roadside arrow with fluorescent light.
That's why I had to admire this vintage sign I discovered at Gizmodo this morning. That and the reassuring disclaimer that this strange alternative to gas "is in no way harmful to health, nor does it affect the soundness of sleep." Reportedly, they still display these at the historic National Hotel in Jamestown, California.
I've recreated the sign in two versions you can print yourself and display at home.
The GIF is optimized for a typical letter-size sheet and the PDF is vectorized for lossless resizing.
I recommend printing on a nice antique-style paper stock.

I have this sign but mine is oval. any idea what they're worth ? It is golden, with black filigree and two maidens in greek attire .... the art work is really beautiful.
