...from the neon repair place.
LOOKS AWESOME!
says enjoy (backlit) and in neon "coca cola free refills"
the A in cola was broke so he made a NEW cola tube....later this summer I'm going to have him do the COCA part too...looks duller compared to COLA

Ive seen the ones that are "boxed" in neon but this is the only one I've seen like this....the lady I bought it from said it's 1960s...anyone have any idea?

Hard to say. I've seen  newer Coke signs on the grid.  There may be a date on the transformer,  but those often get replaced.   Cool regardless.

That looks great!! Very early 70's would be my guess.
