this Coke litho is stamped "Coke litho in USA 1935" on the lower right hand border (see/enlarge 2nd photo). It has some wear marks, but for $15.00 at an estate sale I'm not complaining.

Yep, I would say for $15 you can't get hurt
Is it two-sided? And did you just poke two more holes in it by using push pins to display it?
Definitely a good grab. I like this one alot too. I'm hoping you used previously poked holes, yes??
Nice one, old and authentic, very cool image. I like the contrast in the two sides of the sign. And whatta deal! Nice score loftbed.
TGBWC, Yes it is two sided but the previous owner (or someone else) painted out a section of it (like cleaning a brush). I'll get a photo of it later. No I did NOT add more holes to it; There are two grommets on the top edge used for the pushpins.
(see added photos).
Also, I had misread the litho date, it 1935 not 1937.
Still a great deal for $15.00....
That paint job looks like a kid's work....Maybe one that received a spanking soon thereafter!
