One of the first porcelain signs made in America in 1890. Measures 6 inches by 16 inches. Someone is reproducing this same sign in India. This is undoubtly a original. You can tell the repros by looking at the back..it will have heavy porcelain loss and rust.

Oh, I'm so jealous! It's alot better then my banged up sign.
I used to collect Coca Cola..for about 25 years or so. Got a divorce and it had to go. I collect old west memorabilia..also Winchester advertising now. I have been on the hunt for this specimen for about 15 years and finally found a super one. I turned down 1100.00 for it a few months ago.
good thing you did, I think if you sold it, you'd never find another one.
Yup...as u said.
There is one on ebay right now for 375.00..but I am sure it is a India repo.
