Vintage coke sign thought to be one of a kind. Possibly 1921 when coca cola motto was year round drink. Note duck holding coke bottle. Any ideas about this one?

I've seen these before at flea markets, they're hand painted signs people make for decor, but this just makes me confused... why a duck for coca-cola? Antway bottom line, it's not a real COCA COLA MADE sign, just made by a artisit. I doubt it's not older then 1980
Sorry. Your sign is worthless. They are made a rip-off items for the uneducated.
Study up a little, and save your money and but an original old item. Dont buy anything unless you have done your homework!
I agree this probably made by the same importer that did the indian motorcycle sign posted here. It is hand painted and such because labor is so cheap in third world countries.
is there a mosc(i dunno how spell it) in the backround?
Here is a similar sign, and the seller describes it for what it is.

Unfortunately a lot of auction houses and flea market sellers pass these off as original, or just let people assume there old.
