Circa 1930's double sided neon porcelain sign made by William J. Rueff of Louisville, KY who is still in business since 1912. The sign likely hung over The Hampton-Cross Co. They specialized in fire extinguisher sales and service and hydrostatic cylinder testing. This company began in 1928 and bought by a former employee to start their own fire protection venture in 2000. It does not have any of the neon tubing, some sockets remain in the holes. Shows normal wear consistent with age and use. This piece is extremely large and will require assistance to move. Great piece of Louisville history.  Size: 8'2"w x 10.5"d x 4'1"h
