For my birthday I figured I would post one of my favorite pieces of iconic advertising that I am lucky to own. This is a late 1950's-early 60's back-lit Coppertone Clock. Not sure if too many of these still exist. The last pic shows one of them that is still hanging in Hampton Beach, NH as of 2011. The clock is roughly 4' square. Not sure the logo "DON'T BE A PALE FACE!" or the pic showing a little girl's butt would be considered too PC now days.

The clock is 4ft x 4ft. Here's a pic of one I believe down in Miami, FL.
