I just aquired this- barn fresh....looked all over the net to find info on it and just found 1 pic of it
(on worth.com or something like that)
how old are these...what do these go for and is it advisable to "restore" the bracket on it or leave it?
I'll post a pic tomorrow of it.

if the bottle cap is a single dot, it's mid to late 1950's, Yellow was also predominate in Pepsi advertising at this time.
I'm not going to guess on the value, or the rarity.

This is the sort of stuff I look at on a regular basis because it is resonably light to ship overseas.

I have seen this version appear on eBay many times so if you are looking for a value it might be prudent to check there.

With regard to restore or not... I don't think the item is worth 1000's so the chances are that if you did restore its not going to knock a fortune off the value.
I would be inclined to restore the bracket, if it is too far gone, and leave the sign as is.

I have an al metal Pepsi Door push that I am very fond of. Nice peices to display in a room that is very tight for space..

That is a nice door push.  I would value it at 100 to 150 and if it were mine I would leave it like it was, most of these dont have the metal part someone just ripped the sign off and threw the metal part away..

Nice sign clean it up and enjoy.
