Description
Incredible new old stock (NOS) single sided tin (SST) two piece galvanized metal neon sign has good color and shine. The field has some surface wear and staining with areas of paint loss on the "U" in Crush as well as on the lower edges of the sign. Sign is still in the original shipping crate. The shipping tag on the top of the crate shows it was made in New York and sent to an Orange Crush Bottling Plant in Wisconsin. This is the only known example in the original shipping crate and is a holy grail neon for any soda collector. The provenance is pictured in the sign manufacturer catalog and on the shipping tag as seen in the third and fourth images. Measures 49" x 95" x 10". Rated 8.5 by The Authentication Company (TAC #042000). The sign has not been cleaned and should rate 9 if properly cleaned.
