Mint condition, came from a Coke machine box. The poster is approximately 4' x 5'. Print on the front, corregated backing. Haven't seen it anywhere else but in my father's garage and I've spent a few hours searching through the internet. He had it framed decades ago after finding it it my grandmother's attic stapled to wood joists to keep out the cold. Image has no fading, no creases, no blemishes. Dad covered it with non-stick, non-glare glass to preserve it. Anyone know what this might be worth.

Thats a very nice sign, larger than most you see. Nice job on the frame too!
This sign is not in Petretti's 12th edition, but should be worth@$600-800 IMO.
Very nice sign looks like it was made during the 40's, during world war two. Too bad you dont have the original frame with it, atleast its easier to find the frames than the signs themselves.
I don't believe it was ever in a frame until my father framed it. As I said, the poster was on a side of a box that probably contained a Coke machine, which would explain the large size. My dad cut away the excess cardboard around the poster and then had the poster framed.
Please don't use that word "cut" I hope he didn't cut the information off the bottom right of it.
Don't know about that. The poster was a small part of a big box, so my dad was told. Don't know about any writing on the bottom right. I'll check with him.
