I bought this a long time ago. It's odd because it's a 3d sign. The bicycle is removeable and is made of copper. I would love to have any information on this. It's driving me nuts.

Hi- this is awesome. I can't give you a value, but that thing is great because it is a cross collectible- advertising, bicycles, and those who collect beverage related collectible would love it. The bike is so awesome and that it comes off is amazing. I don't know if you've ever heard of them, but those two guys from the History Channel show American Pickers would go nuts over this. They could probably give you a value and additional info on it, but the tall skinny one would definitely want to buy it from you, lol. I say contact them. Go to History Channel site and I'm sure info on how to contact them is available. Hope this helps you.
There are no identifying marks at all.
Anything is worth a shot. The bicycle is great and fully functioning. My 5 y/o plays with it.
Post some close up photographs and photos of the back to confirm that it has age. Most of this type are modern made.

I agree with Scott. It looks like one of those signs that you can buy in Pier 1 or World Market.
