This sign was found during the renovations of Coney Island a few years ago. I would like to know when this sign was made, I cant find any info on the sign itself except that the trademarks reads REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. I would also like to know if it has any value.

Of course iot has value but we do not buy and sell on this site.. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the response, I understand this site is not for buying and selling so I reworded my question to reflect that.
It doesn't look familiar to me. Style looks to be from the 1950s. It might be part of a glass storefront decal border treatment but that's just a guess. Dave, Perry, Blaine and others hopefully will chime in soon.
Its a reverse applied decal from the late 1940's or just after WWII. It would have been applied to the top of the windows of the drug store. This looks like a transom window. I one one in a different style from 1941 still in the transom window frame.
These go for maybe around 200 to 300 dollars. You actually don't see them very often.
Am I good or am I good......
Pretty Cool!
Thank you for the info, that was very helpful!
