Nehi Sign

[SodaShopNick]

I picked up this cardboard sign at a local Flea Market a few weeks ago.  I figured it was a repop, but it was in a glass frame and according to the dealer he was not sure and it was priced like a repop.  I have seen repop's of these on retro planet in tin, but was not sure about the cardboard.  There are no markings on it at all.  Again, I am thinking it is a repop. but thought someone could confirm it for me.  Thanks!!

never seen a repo in cardboard. maybe around the edge or on the back it will give the year it was printed

There are no markings on the front or back of mine, but I did find the following link to an ebay "buy it now" advertising this as vintage style which mine seems to match minus the metal grommets (mine example looks like they had them, but they have fallen out).

I have also followed up with the people at Retro Planet who make the tin reproduction just to see if they also make or made a cardboard type and they said they get these signs from a wholesaler and they are only made in tin.  If anyone else has any thoughts please let me know.

I would say repro... The trim would go all away around the image as to frame it... it would be a heavy cardboard, colors would be much brighter
image much crisper and it would be dated along with the company named that printed it..
Still a nice sign to display... great image.
