sprite button sign from The Netherlands, it was produced by langcat bussum and it's the same size as the coca cola sign. Sprite signs are not really common and it's a nice addition for my collection.
The sign is in porcelain.

Must be well disiplined kids up there in the Netherlaands, or, it could be to cold to throw rocks at the future treasures of a generation.Either way that sign looks DAY ONE!!!! Beautiful!! Say 50s, did u throw rocks at signs as a boy? Im guilty of that crime, dont tell anyone.
I try to find signs in the best condition for great prices but sometimes signs are beat to hell, I've also seen signs in US with bullet holes...
I was born in 1986 and most of old signs were already trow away from every shops here (that's the problem here in Belgium, many old cool stuffs are demolished to be remplaced by new things...)
