Picked this up recently and am wondering what vintage and how common these are. It's a large porcelain sign, approximately 3.5' x 7'. Has a formed flange back and up creating a very strong "U-shape". The great thing about the sign is that all the lettering and boarder is embossed.
Anyone got a value on this thing? Thanks for the information.

Not sure why the sign didn't post. Let's try this again.

I believe this is a late 30s sign?

I agree, early sign with the trademark in the tail of the C.

I have seen similar signs with the same design dated as early as 1932. Love the embossing.

Never seen an embossed sign like that. Very cool.
I know doc is the man on the coke stuff, but I thought that the black outlined coca Cola script was 1926-1930. I think they look better than the signs that dont have it.
see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.
