Nathan’s began as a nickel hot dog stand in Coney Island, NY in 1916 and bears the name of co-founder Nathan Handwerker, who started the business with his wife, Ida. She created the hot dog recipe they used, and Ida’s grandmother created the secret spice recipe. The original Nathan’s hot dog stand still exists at its original 1916 site. It has been open for business 365 days a year ever since. Available in two sizes as well as a window sign, billboard and N/Z billboard. If you can’t get enough of your hot dog – you can display it anywhere using our Desk Top Neon base. Limited edition sign. Suitable for HO/O Scales
