Can you take a closer picture of it.. Most of their larger horizontal lithocard boards were 20"X36" and 27.5X56.5, standard size...
Coke had a very unique framing system for their card boards to where you could change out the different signs by sliding them in and out
from the back.
there may be dates in either lower corner... Looks pretty cool..  How's the finish/condition?
I'm not an expert I just have a couple signs.. I'm sure someone else here can give you more info... Cool Pick Up!

I have had several over the last couple years they display nice if you have the wall space.  

Condition is everything which makes it tough for a cardboard.  A friend of mine bought about 35 of them that were nearly mint.  The were found in the attic of a retired Coca Cola Employees attic they were stacked up and used for insulation. Mint he was selling the for around $850-$1150.  

The average ones are between $225-$375.  Dont look on eBay you will see the same ones all the time listed for 2k.

As stated ,... Condition , size and subject matter will dictate value.

I have seen them all over the board on price, but these 3 factors are the deciding factors..

Thanks guys.....I'm into the sign for 30 bucks, so I guess I'm not going to be upside when it sells.  I appreciate your feedback.
