Single-Sided Neon Can Sign with Porcelain Enamel

After countless requests from those who appreciate true craftsmanship and quality, we’re proud to introduce our Neon Can Signs with Porcelain Enamel.

There’s something about real vintage neon that sets it apart from everything else. And that’s exactly what we’ve captured. Yes, there are plenty of neon signs available today, but let’s be honest—most of them aren’t real neon. They’re LED strips, plastic tubing, and acrylic backings with stickers.

Some might say, "it’s all the same," but those aren’t the people we’re making these for. These signs are for those who value quality, craftsmanship, and supporting American small business.

There's only one way to capture the essence of those vintage neon's we all know and love; it's all in the details. You can’t cut corners and the materials matter. It's a grueling, time-consuming process that only a handful of people in the world that can execute it well. That's why you don't see genuine neon being sold at Walmart.

That’s why each of our neon signs is crafted with genuine hand-blown glass tubes—heated, bent, and shaped by skilled artisans just like the originals. This isn’t LED flex or plastic tubing. Each glass tube is vacuum-sealed and filled with real neon gas, producing a glow that nothing else can replicate.

Despite all our searching, we couldn’t find a single neon sign today that combines real porcelain enamel with genuine neon. And honestly, that doesn’t surprise us. Working with porcelain enamel takes skill. It’s time-consuming and expensive—but worth it.

That’s why every one of our neon signs is made with real porcelain enamel. It’s not just about looks—it’s about durability, longevity, and the unmistakable feel of a high-quality sign. When you combine true neon with porcelain enamel, the difference isn’t just visible—it’s something you can feel.

What’s the Difference Between a Skeleton Frame and a Neon Can?
Most modern neon signs use an open-face skeleton frame—a budget-friendly mounting style that took over the market in the 1980s. It was a simple, cost-effective solution for bars, businesses, and collectors who wanted affordable neon without the added expense of a full enclosure.

But if you look at most vintage neon signs, they weren’t made that way. Instead, they had an enclosed metal casing, known as the “can.” These neon cans provided structural support, protected the electrical components, and added durability. More than that, they gave the sign a bold, premium look—one that’s mostly disappeared today because of cost-cutting.

We believe it’s time to do things the old way again.

Our neon signs are something to be proud of—handcrafted one at a time, using the best materials and made by the most talented artisans. Designed by a fellow vintage lover, our Neon Collection is a testament to American craftsmanship and a tribute to the past. We understand they won’t be for everyone, but for those who know the difference, nothing else will do.

Each sign is made-to-order, allowing us to offer the largest selection of designs and sizes. Please note that the current lead time for special orders is approximately 6-8 weeks.
