I have a coke collection that I decided to sell and the sign is among many items. This sign is 24" x 68" and it is in good condition. Local pick up only.

Picked it up today.  happydrinkers

The sign is in decent shape but has some dents and chips.  Has AM-90 in the lower right-hand corner.  Looks to be on half of an original two sided sign.  Certainly not a museum piece but with a little wood framing behind it and a quick wipe down it is a nice looking sign to display for $25.00!

PS--I will be listing it for $25,000 in two years when my first son starts college!  biggrin laugh Cool

It appears to be painted but the paint is in good condition.  Most of the damage is where it was removed from the original sign along the edges.  It has a few curves in it and that is why I am thinking about putting some wood framing behind it to stratghten it out and prevent any future bends or damage when moving.

When I first looked at it I thought it may have been repainted but I don't think it was.  If it was repainted, whoever did it was a good sign painter.  Either way I figured I couldn't go wrong for $25.

Thanks!
