I took it out of the frame and inspected it more... little water staining and some slight warping.. it's actually a thick cardboard about the thickness of a credit card or more... so pretty durable...  

going to reframe it... also going to make a cooler with the same graphics as the sign, I'm going to use my SS 700 Cooler and have the panels made to match this sign... think the color will be the blue that is on this sign I think... or looking for any other suggestions... That project will come up later in the year.. or spring of 13..

Still excited to have it.!

Ok,
 more to add to this... so I'm at my relatives house to pick up the Coke and 7up items he wants me to sell for him.. and we are talking about Ol Smoothie Rootbeer as his Father was one of the brothers who invented it... and I asked if he had seen this carboard..

he said he remembered it but said .. "Do you have one of these" .. and he pulled out some more advertising that I've never seen before...

one very cool Paper advertising Ol Smoothie Rootbeer Floats and another couple versions of the Cardboard I have but one was smaller with a different bottle design they where contemplating and also another version that I have never seen ... it has some water staining , but still very cool.

I'm like a Kid at Christmas today with all my new finds!
