[ Home > aStore By Amazon > Bass Lake Clock ]
Each high-quality sign/clock is hand-painted on heavy tin with carefully "aged" and rusted edges for a genuine vintage look. The clock is encircled with a thin tube of long-lasting neon and is featured beneath a bass that has sprung up out of the lack, mouth agape. The top inscription reads BIG BASS LAKE, and in smaller font just below that: FISHING, CABINS. Beneath the clock BOATS BAIT TACKLE has been painted onto the sign. Towering pines, grasses and the lake, itself, comprise most of the background.
And yes... Big Bass Lake is a real place! Created by brothers Lou and John Larsen as a place to bring other American families closer to nature, affordably, Big Bass Lake is located on Long Island, NY.
There are small holes in each corner for nails/screws and easy mounting. There is also the option to hang the sign up by using the attached hook on the back.
Colors- white, pale yellow, varying shades of green, black.
approx. 10" wide by 14" tall
Adapter (to plug in and illuminate neon) enclosed in package. "AA" battery required for quartz clock is NOT included.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF NEON:
Neon arrived in America in the early 1920s after being invented in France. The appeal was instantaneous and it gave new meaning to the phrase "a picture is worth a thousand words". Neon was considered "high class" and adorned the Big Corporation signs and logos of the 1930s. By the 1950s neon had transformed the American roadside into a magical, luminous wonderland. Nowadays, much of Route 66 and the old main streets are gone, leaving the rusty old neon signs which once glowed in all their glory.
And now they're back for your enjoyment!
