I don't see a lot of age to this.
Looks to be a modern piece.

Depends what you consider modern! I've owned this sign since 1979 so it had to have been made before that date!

The image on that tin seems to have come from a 1958 movie with an interesting cast and trivia:

Considered, along with its sequel Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, the forerunner to the Beach Party films of the 1960s, establishing the archetype of up-front comedies for teenagers and employing the tried and true formula of a popular trend coupled with romance and music. Hot Rod Gang screenwriter Lou Rusoff went on to pen the script for the first Beach Party film.
