My new find today is a original 1932 Coca-Cola 3’ x 5’ porcelain sign from the Tenn. Enamel Mfg. Co., Nashville. I saw this sign several years ago and today I finally got to purchase it and take it home and add it to my collection. The sign is in excellent shape for being 86 years old and almost perfect. One that any collector would be proud to display.

Found the perfect spot for it too!!
Awesome sign Michael!!
Great Room!!!!
Was it so much you had to pay it off for all those year?..;-).. or did you just wear them down in the end..well done any way, your patience won in the end..:-)
Inky, you got me laughing on your comment, you made my day! I didn’t wear them down it was still an expensive sign but all signs these days are expensive. Everyone’s gotten a good education from the Internet. Thank you for the love!

What a wonderful find Michael!!!
Beautiful and congrats on finally getting it. It seems you always find a spot. But if you are like me I find a spot then look for something to place there. But sometimes another sign gives up its spot and has to be sold haha.
Absolutely beautiful ! I see signs all the time but am fearful they're reproductions. Any tips on how not to be fooled by a repro?
Don't we all want to be in as good a shape as this sign when we're 86??!!
The collectingRef. You are right this sign is reproduced but in a small size like 18"X24". This sign is large and hasn't been reproduced because of its size. Signs from India are usually fake. The problem is people buy them and then resale not knowing it's a fake. People don't know they originally came from India. Gas and oil signs don't have extensive guides to compare original signs . Me personally don't buy anything non Coke on eBay . Even Coke signs must be carefully researched before a purchase . Buyer beware and arm yourself with knowledge.
I believe we have the same sign and looking for some help getting it appraised? Can Anyone help
