Well...this is why I wouldn't.
I am not an antiques collector. I am a radio collector. Radio is a piece of old technology. Although some folks will collect them purely as antiques, that is as pieces of furniture for decor, them not even having to function.
To me signs are antiques. I'm not opposed to it, au contraire, I would put one up on a wall, but only if get one free or cheap. To kinda keep the spirit. But they are not truly pieces of periode-appropriate technology, they are glorified lanterns and, other than what's written on them, are ABSOLUTELY NOT DIFFERENT from todays lighted signs. They are pure decorative antiques.
This is why I wouldn't get it for the price. And this is why I understand why some folks would.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
