History of Neon

Created in France by Georges Claude in the early 1900s, neon signs became extremely popular throughout Europe in the 1920s. They were first used in 1923 by a Los Angeles Packard automobile dealer. Their attention getting features quickly assured their popularity.

Most neon signs were extremely large outdoor signs used to attract attention from quite a distance. Since these large signs are almost impossible for the collector to transport, now-a-days, window neon signs and neon clocks are popular among collectors.

Most neon signs are made by hand. The fragile glass tube is bent by hand and an inert gas is sealed in the air tight tube. When electrified at a high voltage, the gas gives off a color. Neon gas gives off an orange/red color. Argon gas gives off a blue color. Other colors are the result of tinting the glass or adding other chemicals to the inside. A transformer is used to achieve the voltage necessary to make the gas light up.
