Title: Another sign - is this original ??
Post by: davethebirdman on May 31, 2006, 03:42:16 am
I missed out on the last two signs that have come up on Ebay. This is another one.

The seller tells me the measurements are 59" wide by 23" long.

Is this an original 1950's sign or a repro. Any ideas???

Dave

I can only find 2 like this in my price guide. They measure 20" X 28 " and  11" X 35".
     Also, each one of them have the trade mark patent printed in black just under the Coca Cola letters.
     Large signs are not as valuable as the smaller ones, because they consume too much wall space.    My 2 cents

Hello dave,
 I have this same sign in the size you listed. It is indeed an original 50's sign. Mine has a few bullet holes in it but still looks cool. I have it above my door inside my restoration shop. I picked it up here locally for 50 bucks. ???
