This is a old hand painted coke sign, If you can tell me something about it let's hear it. Starbuko Tee shirt is Starbucks from the Phillipines. Tiger and Gatorade had a good thing going but you all know the story. I have some early coke items but the local stores keep the newer thing comming. To the collectors that have responded to my ads, You all have some great items in your collections, A BIG THANKS OUT TO YOU!
the hand painted coke signs not real. and i think everyone should stay away from them because i dont think coca cola made a wood sign
Again oilman514 is right. Made in the Phillipines probably, for the giftware market. Hand painted yes, but very crude quality. There is another coke sign posted on here that was from the same importer. When I attended wholesale gift markets in the 1990's I saw these. Even 1890's coke advertising was never this crude.
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.
AR8Jason, your right, but the one they should pull is the other one listed as an authentic sign for $399.00. This seller is representing this for what it is. I know that is an unlicensed coke item, and could be pulled for that reason.
oilman514, rocker-sd, AR8Jason Thanks for the Info. the sign will make a intresting conversation piece hanging in my ice cream shop
