It has the wrong logo for 1950's in fact that logo more closely matches the one first used in 1972 and even then it is not 100% correct.

I use to have a repop coca cola policeman. The base also said something similar ( traffic ? Inc canton Ohio ). That is what raised my curiosity about the sign. Also as stated the logo does not look 50's.

        The listing only states that it is original, nothing about 1950's.
Kind of a useless sign if you asked me, would be more practical hanging on a wall.

pepsi had that campaign in the early 70's.  The logo should be Time For A Break Drink Pepsi Cola.   I have the 5 ft. version of this sign.

In the Questions for Seller sections he answered that it was made "In the 50's".
I would guess no earlier than the late 60's, early 70's.
