Product Description
The owners of Woods Brothers Coffee Company contracted with the Harley Webster Sign Company to build a sign inspired by one seen in Times Square, New York City. In late 1946 the “speller-flasher” neon sign was erected atop the plant on Campbell Avenue at a cost of $3,000. Later, it was moved to the present location in downtown Roanoke.
Through the efforts of the Roanoke Valley Preservation Foundation, the owners of Billy’s Ritz and the H&C Coffee Company, the sign was restored and relit in December of 1991. However, after a decade of non functioning, major repairs were again undertaken in 2005. The neon landmark continues to “twinkle and pour down over the City Market,” a welcoming symbol of hospitality.
Solid Brass; Brushed Finish. Includes ribbon as shown. First produced in 1997.
Dimensions: 1 5/8” x 1 ½” width
