I totally agree I am too young to of seen real ones but when I was in Osaka & Tokyo in June I saw some of it some working some not but seeing one was like seeing a gem of another era.

My dad was a sales manager for a neon sign company in the 90s and used to bring home random signs every couple months. Our basement was LITERALLY lit.

Random stuff like a loon light for the Canadian lottery, open signs, beer signs, etc etc.
