Does anyone know for sure that there was ever a porcelain RC sign in production other than the large double sided sign with the privelege panel at the top?

I've never seen an original RC porcelain sign, and my dad worked for the company for 22 years. His boss who owned a bottling site has a extensive collection of RC items, and doesn't have a porcelain piece in it..

We have a double sided porcelain neon R C Cola for sale. I don't have your email on my IPad so if you would like a pic send it to me and I'll forward pic. It is a very nice sign.

Thanks,
Mike

I lived in Columbus, Ga.(the home of Nehi)from 1969-1978 and still live close and have never seen a porcelain sign...even their double sided sidewalk signs.

We live close to Waco, TX where the Dr Pepper Museum is at. When Dr Pepper bought R C Cola they inherited the archives from that company and a large amount has stayed in the museum in Waco. I know the curator of the museum and she helped me hunt and did not find anything. The sign is believed to be rare.
Thanks,
Mike

Awesome sign Mike and Deb. Here is the porcelain sign that I have , colors are bright but dont show it in this pick. I have seen this sign in neon as well. Reason I ask if anyone has seen another porcelain RC sign is I thought I saw a smaller porcelain sign a while back and cant remember where I saw it.

Mike and Deb's neon sign is for sale or it was a few days ago. I saw it and it is killer and one of a kind I do believe.
