This lovely large garage neon features the Polly Gas Parrot in brilliant green, yellow, red, and white neon. Underneath the bird is the Polly Gas logo and brand name in red and blue neon. Polly Gas was seen mostly on the west coast, specifically in California and Oregon between 1920 until around 1960. Not much is known about the company and there is some conflicting information out there. It is believed that Polly Gas was started as a chain of  independent gas stations as far back as 1910-1925 and was bought out by another company, Wilshire Oil of Los Angeles, during the Depression. Apparently around 1960 Wilshire Oil was itself bought out by Gulf Oil and the Polly Gas name was replaced with Gulf. The neon measures 48" long, 30" wide (at its broadest point), 9" deep, and weighs approximately 50 lbs. The piece is like new and is in very good to excellent condition. There are very few signs of wear to the steel casing or the neon tubes themselves. The power supply also looks recent but please consult all images and message with any questions.
