I don't see a lot of age to this.

Looks to be a modern piece.

Depends what you consider modern! I've owned this sign since 1979 so it had to have been made before that date!

antiquesandcollectibles38, Modern is indeed a relative term. }:-)

The image on that tin seems to have come from a 1958 movie with an interesting cast and trivia:

Considered, along with its sequel Ghost of Dragstrip Hollow, the forerunner to the Beach Party films of the 1960s, establishing the archetype of up-front comedies for teenagers and employing the tried and true formula of a popular trend coupled with romance and music. Hot Rod Gang screenwriter Lou Rusoff went on to pen the script for the first Beach Party film.
