36" IN DIAMETER

By far the highest quality available. You be the judge. Just look at the "other guys" listing. If you are seriously considering an investment of this nature the difference is "OFF THE CHART".

We do NOT need to talk "bad" about "other" neon fabrications to make us look good. Please examine EVERYTHING possible BEFORE you "click/buy"

Look at photos, explanations, descriptions, feedback, reputation and make a SOLID educated decision based on FACT and reality.

If the fabrication you are considering "looks" like it's "slapped together" or "missing" something it probably is/was. Ask questions. You should be able to obtain intricate detail regarding components, methods, substrate thickness, hardware and fasteners and your questions should be eagerly answered. ASK for references. ACTUAL customers who have their's hanging, working and lighting, (MANY customers for 20 & 30 years now).

If Electolite builds it for you we GUARANTEE your complete satisfaction. We build these "OLD SCHOOL", the RIGHT WAY. NO CUTTING CORNERS. The ABSOLUTE difference between paying $2,500 for "theirs" verses $5,500 for ours is, in REALITY, a $10,000 quality difference.

 You may send an inquiry through the eBay messaging system. All SERIOUS inquiries will be considered.  Please do NOT waste your time or ours with unreasonable offers. This sign cost THOUSANDS of dollars to build so hundreds of dollars will NOT buy this piece. Just the transformers alone cost $500.00. The neon glass $1,500.00. Aluminum fabrication $2,000.00. So please do not send any ridiculous inquiries or offers. If you can't understand the huge expense in materials alone please pass on this item. There are plenty of China and India neon signs available on eBay. Thank you.

We have built 27 of these. We have implemented eBay's auto decline just for those poor souls using a computer at the library making silly offers. If you have too much time on your hands and simply can't afford high end art please pass on this item.

Pick up AVAILABLE at our facility

NOTE: Should you wish to arrange shipping at your own expense we will make every effort to assist but will NOT be responsible for the sign once it leaves our facility in Northeastern Ohio.

"We'll Be There When The Light Goes On"

NOTICE!

This information should be very helpful for those buyers who don't want to get ripped off! There are a group of a dozen or so sellers selling signs they call porcelain, used, preowned and vintage. If you look at their sales history under ITEMS SOLD, you will find that they have sold and are STILL selling the SAME EXACT porcelain, used, preowned and vintage signs over and over and over again. DOZENS of the same signs. Common sense reality check people. There is NO WAY someone has a never-ending supply of the same exact porcelain, used, preowned and vintage signs unless they are making them. These are fantasy fake reproductions listed as porcelain, used, preowned and vintage and are NOT even porcelain. The vast majority of buyers do not know the difference at all and this is what these deceptive sellers are counting on. If you are selling signs you make you should list them as such. Most of our signs are NEW and our listings are transparent. Think twice before you buy these fake signs. It's OK to buy a sign made to look old but the buyer should be told about this rather than intentionally deceiving people. If you call these sellers out on this they just block you and continue flying under the radar selling fake signs that are NOT porcelain, used, preowned OR vintage.

There are a small handful of newer eBay members, (we will not list these seller’s names), that are now selling signs they describe as “pre-owned”, that are actually very recently made. These signs are intentionally made to look old or vintage & described as preowned. The vast majority of these newbie sellers are mass producing their “preowned” signs of just about everything vintage they can find on the internet. If you take the time to review & research these sellers, what they sell and how many hundreds and thousands of the same exact same signs they have sold over & over the prospective buyer can obviously see that it would be virtually impossible to have 100 or 200 of the same exact “preowned” signs unless they were making these signs themselves. Of course, these sellers are purposely not transparent with their descriptions. They are intentionally vague as most buyers do not take the time to do the research. Instead, many buyers click & buy believing that the signs are, in some way vintage because after all, they are listed as “preowned”. In addition, they describe them as porcelain & 99.9% are NOT porcelain. The vast majority are a digitally enhanced graphics on steel or tin & then beat up using a multitude of various methods to accelerate an aged appearance. Everything from soaking in acid solutions & various concoctions of special chemicals all mixed, used & designed to produce & sell preowned signs with a vintage appearance. All of this performed in the art of deception. Inspecting the back of the signs they are all virtually identical. Either black or white with bubbles & scratches here and there in various different spots. Ultimately, it is very easy to spot these types/kinds of signs. There are dozens of sellers practicing the same identical questionable business practices mass producing fake porcelain fantasy signs. For the most part many of these signs are of decent quality & reasonably priced. However, several of these sellers have literally pirated Electolite® original images & artwork designed by Electolite® years & literally decades ago. Many of these images came directly from the 1926 Ashton Collins advertising binder, (of which we still have the original binder valued at $50,000.00). We have been on eBay since day one in September of 1995. Over 25 years. Electolite® has been & still is, the most prolific seller of all things Reddy Kilowatt. If you GOOGLE Reddy Kilowatt almost every third image on the Worldwide web is associated with Electolite®. Virtual proof of just how long we have been selling Reddy Kilowatt memorabilia. Everything Reddy from original rare antique representations to multiple unique fabrications ONLY available by/through Electolite®. We are absolutely one of the few known expert sources for all things Reddy Kilowatt.  This is a communication to sign buyers and collectors in an effort to assist in educating the public with real information about how a small group or consortium of sellers are operating  on the eBay platform as well as many other sales venues. If you think you are buying a vintage porcelain collectable sign, think again as it is very likely you are not.

 

Reddy Kilowatt: The corporate mascot created in 1926 by Ashton B. Collins, Sr., of the Alabama Power Company. Reddy has a light bulb for a nose, wall outlets for ears with a torso & limbs made of lightning bolts. The character was licensed to power companies across the United States to represent electricity as a safe & useful utility. Employed by more than 200 different companies at one time, he is rarely seen outside of antique malls and garage sales these days. 

 

We are an exclusive seller of this type/kind of Reddy Kilowatt sign & art depictions of this famous & highly collectable Character. Unique & extraordinary, our signs & Reddy Kilowatt memorabilia have been carefully selected & designed from the genuine Reddy Kilowatt Mat Service Proof Index Artwork from the original artists at Reddy Kilowatt, Inc., 750 Third Avenue, New York 17, N.Y. (1926). We are the ONLY company that offers these particular ORIGINAL OLD STYLE artwork selections of Reddy Kilowatt.

 

So wherever you buy your Reddy Kilowatt signs we hope you enjoy them and remember, we will leave the light on for you.
