Hornby rotating sign
Pentagonal Hornby illuminated shop sign Oneof the rarer pieces in the Hornby Wall is a slightly Art Deco-ish 1950'sfive-sided Hornby Dublo rotating sign. The combination of faded grey-bluecurves and chrome trim is slightly reminiscent of the styling on a 1950'srefrigerator.

As part of our plans to try to increase thenumber of interactive items, we've now wired the display up to some modernenergy-saving electronics that are triggered by a pushbutton on the right ofthe cabinet, and now it lights up in 1950'spastels and rotates acouple of times when the button's pushed. This is surprisingly fun.
