This is my Holy Grail. Picked this up 10 plus years ago on ebay. Guy had 2 for sale and my buddy bought the other one. Just wondering if anyone else has one or has even ever seen one before? The graphics are unreal. The devil(Satan) is in the glass and also on each corner of the sign. Each corner he is doing something different. Thinking from the 1920's era but can't find much info about it. Thanks for checking it out!

The Satan-et brand was trademarked on April 13, 1914 -- there is a little information on this site including a black & white pic of your sign if you scroll down one page;

Thanks for the info. I clicked the link and McAfee stopped me from entering. Is it ok to enter the site?
Thanks
Its a pdf file - my Norton cleared it as safe.
Thanks big time for the info guys. The info and pics were awesome.
Maybe not as rare of a sign as I had first thought....
Thanks again, Pinpop
I am part of a group of people starting a restaurant in Greenville NC and we are going into a 1920's era building. When the construction crew started scraping the plaster inside hey found three ghost signs that were originally painted on the side of the neighboring building. They are pretty well preserved. One of the signs is for Satanet, and I've been doing a ton of research which led me to this site. Any information you can share that would be great. Here's a pic of the mural :https://goo.gl/photos/fDwKk8q9L3Q3hnie7

Very cool sign! Many years ago when I worked for a pharmaceutical Co as a rep, we learned a very impt lesson: a product name should "tell what it is, or what it does". Maybe "Satanet" was not a great name for longevity if moms were buying the pop for their kids? Just an observation. I luv the sign
