This Santa reminds me of the Coca-Cola Santas of the 40s and 50s. If you plan to sell it, DO NOT make any changes as that will negate most of its value! I couldn't sell it, if it were mine!
If this sign is 5ft tall and in good condition (great color, no tears or bends), it has a reference value of $250 in an antique mall. But if it is sold to a private collector or Bank of America and is in perfect condition $500-$750. It will be difficult to find info on this sign. Look it over very carefully and try to find an artist signature on the bottom or a copyright date. I am an antique dealer in a large antique mall. Sometimes these are great display items but it is not always easy to find the right buyer.
Similar on Ebay going for about $100. If its marked Harold Gale about $300. He did a lo of great Santa atrwork for advertisers. If it was Coca Cola about $1000. If it was Harold Gale Coca Cola about $3000. This is a specialized advertising for a specific non iconic brand. Not what Santa collectors are looking for.
What a wonderful find ! Enjoy it for many years to come ...: ) ......maybe you could take a photo and write to the bank company itself .....looks to me to be in excellent condition ....my laypersons guess would be its worth not a fortune but a nice amount ...alot of people are Santa or Christmas collectors ....personally I prefer the sentimental value of wonderful items like this one ....Merry Christmas !
Definitely vintage. Bank of America has been around for 200+ years so, yep - old. I thought two things - Coca Cola or Hallmark. Coca Cola is completely different. Some of the vintage cards (not necessarily Hallmark) look like they are close but none, like you said on the internet. Mine would be a guess, as well, but I'm thinking 50's, 60's and the price would be moot - it is priceless. Keep it dusted off for your daughter! LOL
