Dave if you decide you don't want it let me know as I might give a try at it but I don't have much to spend so I would probably loose.

The sign is reffered to as a Halo sign, they came in single and double sided, and even one double sided that was mounted on a rotating base, similiar to what most of us would have seen in a Victor cooler Grill.  I have owned a few of these and there are 4 different lenses that I am aware of, the one pictured, one that has the slogan "Sign of Good Taste" on the bottom, on that says "Have a Coke" and there is a white one with the words "Shop Refreshed" and and arrow pointing down with the coke logo in it, meant to be hung or sit on top of a machine/cooler. The one I currently have is a double sided, mounted on a rotating base that lights up and rotates. pretty cool sign and yes Markito... it's MEANT to sit on TOP of a Machine!!!! how bout that !
Single sided in good shape bring 800 bucks, this double sided on base is worth about 1200 and I had a single sided, new in box that said shop refreshed a few years ago that sold for $1,600!!!  Just thought i'd provide a little insite to the other side of what I get into, hence the name...signguy! Here are pics of the one I have.

I have the reverse sign of the one pictured. Mine is white with red lettering "Have a coke here w/arrow" single sided Halo. I've been offered 450.00 but turned it down.

450 is low... one just sold on ebay, single sided, repainted back can and the red version just with Coca-Cola logo for $811.00.   A little high for this sign I think but thats the beatiful thing about ebay... alot of potential buyers. I could imagine yours bringing 650...?
