Hi All,
My partner and I have started collecting old signs and garage memorabilia, we have always had an interest in coke stuff in particular and we stumbled across this the other day...
It is a tin sign, the graphics are painted not printed, there is a small amount of rust formed around the nail holes but the rest is in pristine condition!
Looking for any information if anyone can provide us with it, i.e. what era is it from? how common are they? whats it worth?
We will never sell it as its the pride of our new found hobby of collecting
Cheers
Ricky
Right on, 50s. Coca-Cola trademarked the logo very early in the company's history. No printed trademark detail should always raise a red flag. Familiarize yourself with the history of the logo and documented pieces. As Mr. fifties suggests, getting your hands on a copy of Petretti's 12th is a good start. I also highly recommend earlycoke.com and Blaine's price guide.
