    Just Reduced!
    Extremely rare to find one of these at all, let alone unused. This plastic sign is either a lighted sign insert or could have been wall mounted with framing.  Would have been a bold display either way.  If you like to tinker, it would be easy to fabricate a light up display or other framing.   We just reduced to - under first two sales.
    This sign (and others I have like it) must have been ordered by the Illinois Meadow Gold Company sometime prior to the closing of the Borden Dairy Stores in Champagne Illinois (They were partnered with Meadow Gold Dairy at that time & split from them in 1995. See notes below.)
    I could not find a single one like this (or these) anywhere on eBay or other sites.  I could not even find anything listed as Borden Dairy Store.   These signs may have been a one of a kind issue for the Champaign Illinois area, before the split with Meadow Gold. I do not know for sure, but there are no other ones in the Web World that I could find.  So, if you like rare, this is for you.
    I obtained from a massive Borden exclusive auction of vintage signs ranging form -00 range.  Several were New Old Stock like this.  I have 3 of these signs (two have sold). You can have one or all if you choose at 3 times the price.
    But again, this sale is for one sign unless you choose more.
    You will get one of the five pictured. I took many pictures of this sign & others. Please look over pictures. These signs still have protective plastic coating on them.
    No sign is ever perfect, but all the signs I have are close.  These are all in mint to near mint condition. In fact, they appeared to never have been out of the box I bought them in.
    You can buy 1,2 or 3 at the sale price.  You just need to let me know if you want more than one, so we can arrange payment. If we agree to a price for instance, and you want 2 signs, I can go back in and raise the  "Buy it Now" to 2 times our agreed price for one, and then you can buy.  In that case we will obviously combine shipping.  All five have plastic clear coat in place on the front of signs.  Extra wrapping will be applied if more than one are shipped and on single purchases as well.
    Below, I pasted information on Borden's sale of its interest in Meadow Gold Dairy in 1995, where these signs were initially mailed per there shipping box. The internet link containing the information is below that. But you will need to type it in.
