Well this is one I never thought I would own. 54" tall x 18"wide. Found at auction and I had a limit in mind and didn't go over it thankfully. While I wasn't expecting it to be this nice, I'm not complaining. I really like the fact that this one is close to mint. Self framed and embossed on the word "Pause" only and has the Trade Mark in the long C. Date stamped 1940 at bottom right, at bottom left corner 11-39. Maybe someone can enlighten me on what 11-39 means? Definitely my favorite Coke sign!

Holy Smokes That's a Nice Sign Perry!
Hey Dave, thanks for the stop in! Never thought in a million years it was out there.
Nice! (I had one at one time.) I think the 11-39 is the actual manufacturer date, meaning this was made in November 1939.
Sweeeet,,,you're killin us with these mint finds, what"s goin on? Lottery win? Recording contract? Found a boatload of dough somewhere?
Love the pinball & the framed ad for it also, very cool room!
11-39 means "you lucky devil", lol Great sign, I don't think you'll ever need to upgrade that piece buddy!!!!!
Thank you Ray, Tommy and Bernie! I didn't hit the lottery Bernie, I just wait it out and know exactly what I want. I have a saving plan and wait for the next big thing to show up. In the meantime, I sing like a girl for a living,,,,lol. I think you're right Tommy! Thank you Ray for clearing up the other date issue, I'm excited to hear this!
