I recently gifted my Grandparents a seemingly vintage Coca-Cola sign. It’s a box light used for advertisment (as to say, it’s a neon light inside a shimmering box of colored plastics). The sign is tagged by what looks to be a relativly generic lighting company, with no real regard to it’s history. Don’t get me wrong- I watch my fair share of Antiques Roadshow, although I’m at a loss as to how to find out this particular spot of info. Can the Dopers help? Oh, one more clue… the ‘slogan’ emblazed by the lighted insides is “Enjoy”. Thanks. ---

Generally speaking, if it’s labeled “DRINK Coca-Cola”, you can be assured it’s pre-1965. Coca-Cola advertising labeled “ENJOY Coca-Cola”, is an item produced after that period”…** The quote is from [this](http://www.angelfire.com/oh/cocacolaantiques/) website; IANACollector of such things, so take it with a grain of salt.
