Description: This rarely found for sale Elgin Watch Company Highway Billboard is a true gem for collectors and enthusiasts alike. The light up motion sign features a colorful 3 dimensional highway scene featuring a billboard with its angular perspective and trees as if seen along the highway and captures the essence of mid-century advertising. These were used in retail stores to sell Elgin watches. This unit shows a man wind starting his model T, in which his motion will keep his watch wound up. A clever way to sell self-winding watches. Included is a typical and working Elgin Self Winding watch from that era and the working watch is included. The trees are newer. Made in the United States, this retail display is rarely found for sale and a must-have for anyone interested in vintage Elgin memorabilia. The sign's motion-light up counter sign is old and held together with many repairs but shows itself off in striking fashion. Perfect for display along side your sign or watch collection. Because of the age of the display the amount of repairs and not knowing how long these motors will last (although replacement motors can be found at Hankscraft Wisconsin) personally I would only turn on to show off and not leave it running as its a great conversation piece. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of history with this Elgin Watch Company Highway Billboard. Please read About this item: Condition details from seller.
