Added this late 1950's Coca Cola Menu Sign to the collection this week.  I have looked at different ones over the years and finally landed one I liked!!

It missing the end pieces which I hope to try to make, and the fonts is a ittle bit off but all and all it displays very nice !

Beautiful sign, I agree with you if you can somehow come up with something to look like those original end caps it would really finish it off.

End pieces may be Masonite like a KAY display... could be made easy..  anyone have a close shot of that art/logo on them?
someone sells/makes repro channel cards on eBay... those would be easy to make also... I have that original looking font.
Awesome sign... great addition for sure. Congrats! happydrinkers

I have an owner with the end pieces that has kindly offered to trace the original ends.  I will color match off the bottom for the paint .  Not sure if he will be able to trace the fork and knives, etc.

Would be interested in the font be created .

       I'm not sure that sign had end pieces. Yours looks exactly like the one in Pettreti's guide P.262.
       Menu boards of that era that did have ends, usually had a bottle and a Sprite Boy rather than the knife and fork.

       Anyway, it's a nice sign just the way it is. I like it!  happydrinkers
