259: Tom-Foolery neon sign. Atlanta, J.C. Doty, ca. 197

Tom-Foolery neon sign. Atlanta, J.C. Doty, ca. 1978. Small version of the neon sign that advertised Mullica's famous magic bar theatre, bearing a lighted portrait of Mullica at its center and surrounded by three colors of neon. 20 x 18 ½ x 6 ½. Good working condition. The original sign was also built by J.C. Doty, and was much larger than this one. The large sign hung outside the Tom-Foolery above the entrance, but was destroyed when the bar closed. This smaller version was on display inside the bar.
