A large Freezie painted over heavy metal ice cream sign from the 1940's. The sign is about 40 inches high and approximately 25 inches wide. I love the graphics on the sign with the penguin holding a cold freezie drink. I assume this was some type of shaved ice in a cup with your flavor of syrup, kinda of like a snow cone . Thanks for looking!

Looks like a slushy, they had these at 7 eleven convenience stores when I was a kid. Crushed ice with Cherry syrup in it or blueberry, they had other flavors too, and that was in the 80's had no idea they had them in 40's too.
Thanks Trey, yeah the bottom of the sign reads 10-4? something, paint is missing, I believe it says 48.
