Book says it came in different versions. Without the frame the book measures it 48 3/4" x 38 3/4" nice find, maybe some of the rust will clean off.

It is square all sides equal....but displayed as a diamond shape. DOC @ THE AMERICAN GARAGE

I've found that original frames can add 25-40% to Coca Cola pieces. Checkout my items for sale on Pauls Picks on Facebook. Collecting anything keeps you young at heart!

Really has impact. The damage does jump out though. I am usually against restoration on most stuff but if properly done it might not be a bad idea on this big guy. On the other hand a sign is only original once. I'm not trying to talk any one into anything, just making conversation.
