This is a mint condition cardboard 2-part sign from the 1950s. The hand holding the bottle is a separate piece.
I bought this years ago at a local estate sale. Found it (along with 4-5 other vintage Coca-Cola cardboard signs) by looking under one of the beds in the house. They were just stored in a huge envelope. Estate sale person didn't know how to price them so he said "$25 for all." I said to myself, "Thank you God!"
I had it professionally framed in a shadowbox-type frame and it sits waiting in line for wall space to open up in the Coke room.
Note: Always look under beds and under furniture (and on top shelves) when going to estate sales....because ya never know!

Ray, this is a motion sign like the one I posted recently. On the back of the hand with bottle there is a little cardboard square that holds it to the arm of the motor.
I thought so. And there are two slits on either side of the "Take Enough Home!" piece. Was this meant to be attached to an actual 6-pack or case of Coke?
It attaches to a 6-pack.
