Saw one on CL a few months back. Thought it looked neat.

Sure! I have several like this one

I also have red with white letters. I got them at a swap meet and no one wanted them. The guy was selling them for $5 each. Some of them had chips or dings in the glass and some of the letters were worn off but I did find about 3 or 4 that were in good shape. :thumbsup:

LOVE those Steve! I especially like the 4th one down, and the old style ones with the modified frosted "globe" setup...always wanted to get one of those.

Hmmm...I actually have several, but now that you asked, I'm realizing quite to my surprise that I don't have pictures of a single one of them. :shock:

I'll have to do something about that situation right away...stay tuned!

hey Charger -- do 'ya mean you have "extras" of those triangular glass ones? I don't actually have any like that yet, but have been looking... :yes:

I really like the round Exit sign you have :drool:

I don't think I've seen one like that.

The letters are actually embossed on this lens as are the ones on the 3 sided globe.

Here's some more, now that I've been able to snap a few pics! :crazy:

This one's currently my oldest, from an old hotel in Galesburg, IL, acquired when I was a teenager. Frosted glass panels (one red, one green) slide into slots at the end of the stamped steel housing which is made to attach to the wall on the other end. (pictured sitting on a table, no matter how PhotoBucket shows it) One standard light socket inside.

This one (though technically not an 'EXIT') is another of my favorites, from the same hotel though likely not as old. Also double-sided, this one has frosted plastic panels and two standard sockets inside. I've got another one of these somewhere in storage, too. :good:

This one's also made of stamped steel, but is single-sided and has a thin red fiberglass panel immediately behind its front panel, both of which slide into the end. Currently has two red 'golfball' bulbs in it.

This one is made of cast (pot)metal, single sided, and features a front that is hinged at the bottom and springloaded to stay shut. It has three bayonet-style sockets inside, one of which might be meant to be hooked to an "alternate" power supply. :scratch:

Also emits some 'night light' out of the bottom.

A 'cheapie' plastic model, single sided with two 6w 'indicator' bulbs inside. My most recent, picked up at a junk store (for like $2) because it had interesting bulbs in it, both of which proved to be already burnt out. :rob:

Oh well, it also came with a few front-parts to another EXIT sign... :good:
