I know this isn't car memorabilia per se, but I know a lot of guys here cross collect this stuff and like to decorate their garagemahols.
Ca. 1932 3'X5' Coca-Cola double sided porcelain framed hanging sign. This sign is amazing in person. It was manufactured by the Tennessee Enamel Manufacturing Co. in Nashville in 1932. The lettering is embossed or "bubbles out" on both sides. The colors are vibrant and the paint is still shiney and smooth. It is framed in a very heavy metal frame that could be hung from a ceiling or rafter or even against a wall. This sign is VERY HEAVY. I would guess it weighs at least 60-90lbs.
Condition: The condition is above average in my opinion. One side is nicer then the other which leads me to believe that it was hung against a wall and one side was not exposed. This side has only one chip in it on the bottom under the "A" in the word and, and a small one in the "F" in Refreshing.. The other side has a little more wear but it's still stunning. The sign has a chip with rust in the porcelain under the the letters "R & E" in the word Refreshing. It also has a chip with rust between the letters "U & S" in the word Delicious. It also has some smaller ships in the word Cola. The frame is a little more worn on the side with more chips. That would easily be fixed though if the frame is repainted.
Price of this sign is $1500 FIRM. I can do local pick up as it is to heavy for me to ship, or I would be willing to drive it to someone within 50 miles of my house here in Chicago. The risk is to high for it to be damaged during shipping. If you are interested please call Frank at 708-257-8539
