This is another sign I found at the Flea today and only gave $25 for it.
It's approximately 14 long by 10 tall. Nicholson Bottling was in business from the early 30s to 1940, I think what killed their product was bad marketing. When they had to raise the price of Nichol Kola to 6 cents, they couldn't rename the Co. 6 cent Kola. LOL Even though it was named after the owner. There are quite a few Nichol Kola signs out there but be careful with the Flanges, there were repros in those.

Soda Signs (non Coca-Cola)Coca-Cola may have invented modern advertising as we know it, but that does…

Thanks Tommy!
I discovered in reading today that Coca Cola had bought out Nichol Kola in the 1950s. No wonder I liked this brand so much!
