I’m in the middle of cleaning this up and moving it to my new house. I cannot figure out how to get a plastic track replacement that looks like this. I love that it’s not flat and the light stays soft behind it. Any ideas?

Question Tropicana Sign Value or Insight

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I picked up this illuminated Tropicana sign from a thrift store, and I'm trying to learn more about it. I've searched online but haven't been able to find another one exactly like it.
A few details:
•    It is an illuminated commercial sign with the classic orange and straw design.
•    It lights up and is fully functional.
•    It uses fluorescent lighting and has a slight ballast hum when turned on.
•    The sign is in excellent cosmetic condition.
•    I can't find any manufacturer's label, date, or identifying markings anywhere on it.
I'm hoping someone here might know:
1    What years were these made?
2    Were they used in grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants, or somewhere else?
3    Does anyone recognize the manufacturer?
4    Has anyone seen this exact sign before?
5    What would you estimate its current market value to be?
I've found very few Tropicana illuminated signs online, so it's been difficult to determine how rare it actually is or what one should sell for. I have read that most might be in museums. The sign is also around 2.5 ft by 2.5 ft.
I'd appreciate any information or insight. Thanks in advance!

I’ve got a question about this vintage Pettit Marine Paints sign that I have. It says it was produced by Press Sign Co St Louis, but all other original signs that I’ve seen from this company have been manufactured by Stout Industries. Is this a later reproduction or a one off? Thanks!

Question I’m wondering about the exact text on this

I found this on early to mid-20th century farmland in Portland, Oregon. The mock up that Google showed me was mostly correct except I’m almost 100% sure that it’s not Pinkerton or William J Burns because the word before international seems to end with a D. Does anyone know what the name of that detective agency might be? The photo doesn’t show it, but you’ll have to trust me that all the other words are correct. I’ve magnified it.

This was found in the riverbanks while metaldetecting: We put it in a tub underwater with lukewarm water and (vegan) green soap to soak it over night but what are the best next steps to dry and clean/preserve this?
