<p>Look at this AWSUM wood double sided Reddy Kilowatt road or store display sign. It is 46" tall and 27" wide. The sign is in as found condition, road grime included...LOL. This sign is not perfect, but the price reflects that. The hand on one side is missing, and the thumb is missing on the other side. It can be easily fixed by someone with a little artistic talent, but thats not me. The wood base is also missing, thats an easy one, even for me. This sign has been used well, so there are paint areas that could be touched up. All in ALL it is a good solid sign that can be easily restored. These are hard to find, and in perfect condition I have sold many in the $5-600 range. This will make an AWSUM addition to any Reddy or Utility Sign collection.
