Pilsner Urquell Neon Beer Sign

This is a vintage-style illuminated beer sign advertisement for Pilsner Urquell, featuring a combination of a backlit graphic panel and a perimeter neon tube. The sign is constructed with a curved clear acrylic or plastic front face that protects a central graphic featuring the Pilsner Urquell logo in green distinctive script with a white background. It notably includes the iconic red wax seal logo at the top left and a heraldic coat of arms at the bottom right. The sign is framed by a vibrant green neon glass tube that follows the rectangular silhouette of the piece, mounted on a black metal wire frame designed for wall hanging or display. In terms of condition, the neon tube appears fully functional and bright with a consistent glow. The backlit graphics show vibrant color retention without significant fading. There are minor superficial scratches visible on the plastic surface and some dust accumulation on the rear mounting brackets, typical of brewery memorabilia used in a commercial bar environment. The craftsmanship utilizes high-voltage transformers typical of late 20th-century or early 21st-century point-of-sale displays. The distinct 'The Original Pilsner' text is subtly visible at the bottom of the shield. Overall, the item is in good collectible condition, maintaining its structural integrity and visual impact.
