This sign is over three feet tall. It is in good shape. The only problems is i am unable to find anyone who has one this size. The back has paint sprayed over onto it if that makes sense. The metal is rather thick also. Any info on it would be appreciated.

This one is a repro. The sign design + logo does not equal a 1950's button sign. I don't believe coke ever made a flat version of this sign. Plus, I mentioned the logo, that particular logo is from 1900's to 1931. American Art works did make a flat, coca cola round sign with bottle in backround, but had a differant bottle version, it had dec. 25, 1923 bottle pat bottle, while the bottle design on this one is just a plain "trade mark registered" bottle design, which was used in adertising in the 40's and 50's. So it doesn't add up, it has aspects from differant years, a "fantasy" item.
Here's another one http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/7779-metal-coca-cola-sign?in=85
I still have one left, talked to a guy that had another one, he said his was given to him by the Coca Cola distributor for his store as a display back in the 90's. I sold one for a $150. I saw another go for $175 on ebay several months back.
wow ok thank you very much
Hey, I said it was a fantasy, I didn't say it was worthless.
didn't think that. just a little amazed that's all.
