I found this jewel in the woods in my back yard. its a double sided porcelain sign from 1938 with the yellow, circle coke bottle bolted on. its about 5' wide and 4' tall. can anyone tell me what it is worth and how rare it is. i looked all over the internet and i cant find another one like it. from the pictures I'm not finished cleaning it and it has some chips and rust but other wise it is in very good shape.
