Ron's Hamburgers
Skiatook, OK
Ron's Hamburgers was originally known as Red's Hamburgers. The sign is probably from the 1950s. Ron's Hamburgers, a Tulsa-based chain, was established in 1975. So this location and sign must have been adapted after that. [map]

This Motorola sign is located inside Eskimo Joe's, a restaurant/bar. It is probably from the 1950s.

The Rock Cafe opened in 1939. The building was constructed with rocks excavated during the construction of Route 66. The sign is supposedly from the late 1940s. However, it looks more like 1960s. It was restored around 2003. For more, see this website. [map]

Clyde's Tire & Muffler opened in 1984. This sign was built in 1995. The man's body is meant to resemble an exhaust system. [map]

This First National Bank sign is probably from the 1950s. The patching and neon tubing holes seem to indicate that this sign has probably been altered. The neon was replaced with LED rope. [photo thanks Glenda Campbell] [map]

Elk City, OK
The United Supermarket chain was established in Sayre, OK in 1916. There are now about 50 locations in Oklahoma and Texas. These locations' signs appear to be from the 1950s and obviously had neon originally. I don't know of any that still have neon tubing. The Enid store and sign are gone now.
