We found a vintage metal Coca-Cola sign in the wall of our late-1800s Delaware house. It seems someone used it as some kind of patching material at some point in the past. Unfortunately whoever did this also cut the sign in half, but the remaining half is in remarkably good shape considering the circumstances. Luckily due to the nature of the sign, the interesting content is all in the portion that remains, while the rest was just for writing the day's specials on, so all that's really missing is the red lines near the bottom of that area aesthetically.

Looking it up we found a more complete sign for sale on eBay for several hundred dollars (picture attached of that for reference as well), so we know it has some value but don't expect to get nearly as much as a specimen of that quality.

Make an offer!

 Hi Crydal. I think the best thing to do with the sign is to wash it in warm,soapy water then trim the bottom edge square under the second green line to tidy it up, then nail it to your garage wall. If you're waiting for an offer, then don't hold your breath ,because it will be worth around 10-20 dollars because of it's condition. But it's still a nice thing to keep .

Honestly i'm no Coca Cola collector. it just happened to be inside of a wall we were tearing down. Our friend who works at the state archive believed we could get more for it but honestly, I wasn't buying the outrageous number he was throwing at us. so maybe I will clean it up and goodwill it or give to the local ice cream place. the ice cream shop loves displaying old signs it fits in with the theme. but thank you for your honesty.
