R.H. Tugs Neon & Tin Sign
Object/Artifact
Double-faced, tin neon has painted pictorial of tug boat and identified the R.H. Tugs restaurant along the Kill Van Kull waterway near Staten Island, NY. The restaurant closed down in April, 2012 and the sign was removed by Frank Torrone & Sons Signs, Staten Island, NY. The museum was made aware of the possible availability of the sign by Frank Inzerillo, a local signpainter/pinstriper. A Perrysburg, OH sign crane manufacturer was also able to store the sign until it could be delivered to Cincinnati.
