Coca Cola SignsFew brands have been as effectively and aggressively marketed as Coca-Cola,…
Nice! This is a salesman sample sign. Brought around to stores, soda fountains as a sample of what the heavy porcelain 5 foot sign would look like. Is this two-sided? Does it say: Tenn Enamel Company on the bottom as well as the date? These are rare and could sell for $1,000 or more depending on how badly a collector wants it. I WANT IT!
Ray,
thanks for info!! No, one sided. I will see if it says Tenn Enamel Company and get back to you. I am not looking to sell it.

I have a double sided sign that was made by the TN Enamel Company 1932 I believe. It is huge and hung outside at our pharmacy for decades... it is is excellent condition ... I am wondering how to find out it's worth...I don't have a picture at this time... any ideas on how to get this appraised?
Bobbie, best way is Ebay. I have several large ones to include double sided one too. What does your say Fountain Service?
Yes. It says Fountain Service. I think it is bigger than the one you posted a picture of. It has a metal frame and brackets for hanging. Our store was a "corner" drug store and where I hung one side never faced the elements. But both sides look good. Truthfully we don't want to sell it but have always been curious about its worth. Thanks for your quick reply!
Bobbie
Bobbie, If you send a pic, I can give you better idea. I have seen them in good condition go for around $1000 to $3000
Thanks.... I will try to take a picture this weekend... it is hanging at my nephew's restaurant behind the bar right now.... looks great there....
Bobbie
great, the best part of the sign is it is from your family and to me, that is priceless. I would never sell it.
: )
Elviejo you are exactly right.... it is priceless.... through the years when it hung outside our business we would have people stopping in just to see if we would sell it.... after we relocated the business and shut down the fountain it was in storage for a few years til my nephew asked to use it in his restaurant... it gets many comments .... :)
Like-Bobby,Ialso-have-a-two-sided-fountain-service-coke-sign.Iwould-very-much-appreciate-it if-someone could tell what it worth.It is also from Tenn.and shapped like a shield.Ithas the wrought-iron enambled hanger and almost mint.Thanks so much.

I have a 4'x8' Coca-Cola one-sided enamel coated sign. It has 1932 Tennessee Enamel Mfg., Nashville on it. It says DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING on it. I is not in good condition (bullet holes). Does it have any value?
Janis,
Yes, it does have value. I recommend putting it on Craigslist. Check Ebay for other signs in similar condition to guage what price to ask.
I'd like to find the value of 2 signs..a smaller Coca Cola fountain service sign - 1934 and a larger drug store art deco sign - 2 sided. I have pics but don't know how to post here.
