This neon sign is an authorized Anheuser-Busch Model N8137 “Budweiser Bowtie” Residential Sign. The date of its manufacture is actually printed on the sign tag as Aug. 05, 1999.

This sign was Made in America (LaCrosse, Wisconsin) by EVERBRITE who has been making neon signs for 80 years for some of the largest companies in the United States. This is not a cheap Chinese knockoff or a Chinese simulated Opti LED Neon light, this is the real sign for a real American beer!

This sign also uses the American made Solid State Evertron Gas Tube Power Supply unit in place of the older Core/Coil Transformers which weighed up to 18 lbs. The Evertron weighs 1-1/2lbs and is the industry’s most reliable power supply made!

The energy used by the Evertron Power Supply is less than a single 75 watt light bulb and the longevity of this sign is 80,000 + hours according to BRITE’S website. Also per BRITES website, the Evertron Power Supply alone costs $75. This sign is an incredible deal for anyone that has a Home Bar or a Sports Rec. Room and is looking for the perfect Bud sign.

I purchased this sign from a Budweiser collector a few years ago who hardly ever had it turned on, in fact the pull string is still tied as it came from the factory.  I have only had it turned on twice for less than an hour total and it has sat on a shelf in a closet with a towel over it to keep dust off for nearly two years…Basically it is an unused-sign but selling as used!

The length & height of the neon signage proper is 20” X 10”, the overall length of the sign because of the bracket etc. is 22”. This sign can be wall hung or easily sit on a shelf with its non-slip feet.

Be sure to view the Video & the Photo Slideshow below. I think anyone viewing this sign will agree it is one of the very best being offered on the market while still being a true vintage sign.
