Not many things make me happier than a great sign deal. I picked up this 2' x 5 ' beauty off a best offer eBay deal, for a song, based on a listing with a single low quality image. When I received it I was amazed.
Condition is incredible. When first used the sign would have been framed, so the edges show age, but the printed image remains of near original quality. Print registration marks and the original inventory tag are in place. Maker marked by Allen-Morrison Sign Co. August 1941.
I found a nice spot to hang for maximum enjoyment, right next to the Coke Cave couch. It's like having a mini billboard, but better. This one definitely ranks in my top five favorite sign deals.
Keep your eyes open for good deals, Dear Collectors, they are out there.

Dang, that's a great one to find Dave!
Don't cha wonder where it hung originally?
And you're right, these are NOT easy to find in this great condition! Usually they have way too much rust and are barely legible.
Thank you Perry! Yes I wonder about the sign. It couldn't have hung outside very long, if at all. The print registration marks may indicate it's a press proof, first off a run. And it has the inventory tag still on it. Maybe someone brought it home from the sign maker. We'll never know. I messaged seller for any history, no response. 281.80 delivered Perry.
YOU STOLE IT!
The Coke king has struck again!! Nice sign Dave!

Cheers
Thanks Bernie!
We're gonna start calling you "The Coke Thief"
Great color , gloss and condition. No way that was outside. Signs like this on eBay are usually very expensive . It doesn't surprise me that once in a blue mood something shows up on eBay. Nice find and deal . Nice to see Coca Cola items on CW.
Blue moon. I meant.
Thanks Coke1234, yes I wish the good deals were more common. Some of the prices on signs these days, well I just keep on scrolling right.
Perry, I'll take that moniker as a compliment!!! :0)
Beautiful sign !! I have the larger version.
Hi thanks Trey, I know you like the big signs too.
