These were done by a California company back in the 70`s !! Look closely and see if it doesn`t say 1974 instead of 1874 !!

Heres yours a little different, but closer http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Coca-Cola-Wooden-Sign-Hilda-Clark-1970S-Coke-/390337728025?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5ae1f10e19



Oh found one with the slats sideways, but it appears that the seller may not have the correct description or price. With that said did 4 seasons actually make reproductions of this with the 1st link and is it possible that it is older. Not sure on that.

we were givin it by a older couple that had to move, and just had no where to put it. had it in our house for 16 years now. just collects dust. think it could be worth something in a few year? [obviously i mean 30-50]

Personally, I don`t think its worth keeping with a hope that it will go up in value !! Things like this rarely do !! But some people do buy them now !! Put it on ebay at a reasonable price and see if it sells !!
