I came across this beautiful sign yesterday at a random pick.
It is double sided and porcelain.
I think it's from the 1930's
Any day I come across an old Coca Cola sign is a good day.

Very nice flange sign. Are you going to try to bend that edge back to original angle?
Thanks Daady_Nobucks. It's a cool piece.
I haven't thought about bending it. I don't know what it entails to do that.
You just need to get it back to a 90 degree angle so it can be hung to show both sides. Me, I'd slip that edge between a door and jam, carefully, slowly bend the sign flush. You should be able to get it pretty close to the original angle.

thank you for the link Daddy_Nobucks. I think that I will take it to a metalwork shop if I decide to bend it. It has some rust on the edges so I don't want to risk breaking it off completely.
That's the smart way to go. Price guides list this version as 1938.
thanks for the info Daddy_Nobucks..I will look into that eventually.
In the mean time, I will enjoy looking at it one-sided on my wall.
nice find, looks great to me! I'd hang it out from an outside corner instead of messing with it, but that's just me!
I hung it up on my wall displaying only one side. Still a beauty!! lol
Nice sign Mr. Sign.me.up. Where did you find it? Personal owner?
I bought off someone who apparently found it in a recycling yard.
He knew I loved collecting any type of advertising signs and approached me with it. He was very reasonable in his pricing so I bought it on the spot.
Soooo glad I bought it.
nice friend, I gotta find that recycling yard !!!
If you were closer to me, I'd bring it to my shop and fix it up pretty for you..... not sure if I would give it back though, lol. It's a beauty!!!!!
I love it.....both the sign and the story!!
thanks for the offer tommy1002...lol. Yeah, it's a nice one DaveSierra..thank you!
Very nice find:)
