c. 1930s/1940s; Minneapolis Moline Power Implement Co. - Hopkins/Minneapolis, MN
Vintage single-sided porcelain neon advertising sign promoting Minneapolis-Moline Power & Machinery. The sign features the company's iconic overlapping "MM" logo rendered in bold red, white, black, and yellow porcelain enamel with neon tubing tracing the primary lettering and lower "Power & Machinery" banner.
Retaining its original industrial character, the sign combines striking graphics with illuminated advertising technology that became synonymous with roadside dealerships and agricultural equipment distributors during the first half of the twentieth century. The large format and vibrant color scheme make it a highly recognizable example of early farm machinery advertising.
