In Borough, London. Where the monsters dress up.
Harry Susman Novelties

via flickr. I like the fact the big selling point is novelties, but that you can also get housewares.
Also, the garage in front is fabulously retro 50s.

The comment thread details a history, both of this sign and of Coca Cola.
