Dave,
Yes it is an original Sign... Reffered to as the Pump Plate sign as it was made the same way Gas and Oil Pump Plates where made with very heavy Porcelain coatings. Sign dates to the early 40's. I've only seen them in Blue, which is strange for Coke, but have seen several and it is in the Petretti's collectors books as an original. I don't have access to my books as they are packed away for the upcoming move, but Believe they are worth around 500 -700 bucks in good condition. this one I'd say should bring at least 350 -400 range...

Have to say that's the first time I've ever seen a blue coke sign !
