It was christmas time for me today as I found this sign hided under another one in a flea market, I'm pretty sure this is my buy of the year
It's a tin sign embossed from 1920's - 1930 ( I'm not sure about the date ) from france, the sign was produced by G.De-Andreis S.A.Marseille, the colors are really appealing and it's not usual to use gold on a sign
I got this sign for only 40 € that's the deal of the day, if I remember this sign worth between 200-300 €

Embossed?
or self framed, the sign is not flat, the corners are embossed to give depth
USA version (1927), mint condition: $950. I'd say you did pretty good.
Excellent, top notch find. It's a beautiful piece, fifties. Well Done!
Yep, great find.
thanks you all for the comments and love, I didn't believed it when I got it at this price, I'm really happy that I can still have bargain like this in an antique market, I add it on my wall under the gurtner sign and it's just awesome, my walls starts to be full but I'll have a lot of wall space when I'll finished the attic
