A fabulous vintage illuminated hospital sign. 
It would have hung above a door of possibly the X-ray department or a consultation room
A superb decorative piece in the home can be freestanding or wall hung, however it would need to be hung near a socket or hard wired by a qualified electrician. 
It has been rewired and re-lit with LED lighting, so will not get hot and is inexpensive to run.
Measurements: 36.5 x 6.5 x 9cm high
