Please let all of us know how this sign is authentic I for one would like to learn more about this sign. All of my foreign signs , french and canadian just changed the language in drink they did not shift the text .I have been burned before and was fooled by a repaint of an old sign just like to be careful it looks good but just have not seen one.

Hello: yes, you are 100% right about the French-Canadian about just changing the words on their signs. When produced only text was changed, that is why its more desirable to see some English text signs from Canada market. Items such as the match-striker and door pushes that were made in Canada, and mainly produced in French.. That is why this sign is very interesting, it has a different double logo, and an odd example of a bottle pouring into a glass. I know little to nothing about Australia market, but the markings on the sign on bottom right are legit, and the measurement is spot on for the 18 x 54 size. The sign is entirely paint, no decals on this one for any confusion. Seller also told me came from a private collection and there was 100% money back guarantee on authenticity.

Most any Coca-Cola signs made outside the U.S.A. have various ads that were different than ours here in the states aside from the language. Fonts and sizes were/are changed from country to country.
