NO! They don't. I'm forwarding this to Len Davidson, probably the world's expert on antique neon signs. My guess is that he'll be lucky to get $2-3000 out of it if NONE of the neon units are broken. Someone MIGHT pay a few hundred dollars for the flat signs IFF they're porcelain. If they're painted, maybe a hundred or so. The green tiles will end up being scrap metal.
