Removed from the Masonic Hall in Halifax, NS a few years back as it was being demolished. This is an original 1941 Pepsi:Cola double dot advertising metal sign. I have been unable to find any like it thus far. Measuring 18" high and 54" long.

Soda Signs (non Coca-Cola)Coca-Cola may have invented modern advertising as we know it, but that does…
I have seen the French version of this sign before, but not your version. It sold for over 400.00. The American version always bring a little more than the French in U.S. . A great sign and find.
Thanks for the kudos.
Love it!
Thanks Viking. I wonder if anyone might know, outside of formal appraial, of some online means by which to value this sign?
In Canada, Your sign should be in the same value range as the above mentioned French version if your sign is in excellent or better condition. On a good day, if you would be willing to ship to a U.S. buyer you may get more than 400.00. That being said, Value is debateable and it really just comes down to what a person is willing to pay, there are a lot of determiming factors of what a item may sell for at auction on a particular day . I do not know of any online means other than doing ebay search for past sold items. I hope this helps.
I'll second that. I'd love to have it but I couldn't even pay 1/4th of that lol
StihlCollector - Thank you so much for the insight. Big help indeed.
