Here what I can tell you:

I have a nearly perfect CCA rack.  See below.

It is a mid-1950s rack that many might call very early Silver Age because it post-dates adoption of the CCA. There are not a lot of CCA racks and they are cool and collectible.

My rack is a five sided spinner with a single wide sign.  Yours has a double wide sign. Those are typically seen on flat double wide racks.  Still, I think yours is legit. The shape of the base and patina color are identical to my nearly perfect rack and a similar one owned by Esquirecomics (Zaid). Atlas was a maker of most racks of that time period and I believe they made mine (can’t check right now).  

Yours is a weird almost incomplete looking L shape.  But that also makes me think it’s legit for two reasons. First, If I was going to Frankenstein a rack with a double wide sign far easier to do it with a double wide rack body.  You see them around..  Second, I think a beat up example of this type of CCA was posted on one of the rack threads. 

I would buy it.

Thank you Sfcityduck. It looks to be the exact same one as Zaids, just by looking at the rust on the topper signs. I'm off to pick it up tomorrow so we'll see if it is actually there. Fingers crossed. I will post up pictures if I actually do end up with it. 

Sorry if this is in the wrong post or spot. I'm new here. I have the opportunity to purchase this rack and I cannot find any information about it anywhere.  The person selling claims it is golden age right at the time the CCA was put into place. Does anyone know if this is a real rack from that Era? It is 3 sided with 2 sides being 2 columns and the third side being empty and one point being on column. It does spin but looks tobe made to go up against a wall.
