1930s Coca Cola Fountain Service sign. It measures 27" x14". Porcelain. Embossed "Drink Coca Cola" This is a very interesting sign.This style sign was produced by Tennessee Enamel Manufacturing Co. in the late 1930's, it appears that the dark blue base layer of porcelain was fired, but the sign was culled from production and discarded before colored porcelain  could be applied. This sign was discovered years later just outside of Nashville TN. There are very few examples of this sign that are both porcelain and embossed. *This is the ONLY example that I have ever seen in unfinished condition, and may possibly be the only one saved from the scrap yard. If you like "different" or "odd", the is definitely for your collection. Pictures show condition, rust, dings, dents, bends, chipping and some holes are present. $375

Yes. This sign had the first layer of porcelain fired on it, but was apparently culled before the colored layers were applied. It's kind of an oddety. If you like different, you are not gonna find another like it.
