Am trying to find the value of this diamond shaped Dr Pepper advertisement sign. I believe it is from the 1940's, possibly 1947. I've had this sign for more than 25 years. Thanks in advance for any response you may have.

Your sign is definetly 1940's. The bottle on sign is the old 10-2-4 bottle from 40's. As far as value it is in the 400-500.00 range, it could be more or less. I do not like to give values because it all depends on how bad someone may want it.
Not sure what the markings are under the bottle. It is at another location at this time. I will check on it this weekend.
The area under the bottle Ar8jason is referring to should have sign manufactures name something like Robertson - Dualife - Springfield, Ohio, MCA, something to this effect, sometimes has a date also. I assumed since you had sign for 25 years you had already looked sign over for a date. Just curious why you think it is possibly 1947. If sign has markings such as 2-47 (example), you would be right in it being a 1947. Hope this helps.
