Does anyone know any details about this sign? Year, usage, any value, whatever information you can give me would be appreciated. It is electric with flourescent tube light along the bottom, round disc turns, creating a sparkle effect, in great working order. Thanks

thank you Ray and cocacola for your response. the main body looks like it is brass plated and has some wear spots . is this something i should leave alone or would replate or paint be an option. im new to the restoration process.
I would leave it as it is. Repainting will decrease its' value. Did you find a date inside on the motor?
yes the date was 5-57
