Signs from the Past—
Reliable Oil & Heating
Lewiston, Maine
Around 1966, Neokraft Signs produced one of Maine's most prominent signs of the era. This was by far the most advanced electric sign in existence in Central Maine at the time (and perhaps all of Maine).

Incorporating 1288 11-watt incandescant bulbs (with a combined draw of 119 amps) and classic red neon tubing, the Reliable Oil sign was a significant part of Lewiston's business identity.

The sign was removed around 1984 when the Patry Brothers sold the company to Dead River Oil Company.

Since plans and specifications for signs fall within this realm, it is important to know how this may affect business decisions.

Brewer
Public Safety

The new building for Brewer Public Safety in Brewer, Maine demanded architectural compatability mixed with clarity and effectiveness.

In choosing to utilize the LuminOre™ process Brewer Public Safety relied on Neokraft's expertise and skill to reproduce their city seal in a 5 foot diameter copper medallion with a polished copper and weathered patina finish. Pieces of this nature cast from solid copper might cost more than $10,000 and weigh up to a ton. Neokraft delivered (2) 65 lb. pieces at a fraction of both cost and weight.
