Got this a a gift a few years ago. Don't really know what to do with it. I think it's from 1901 but I can't find any information about it online. It's very pretty. Would like to know what it is and where it is from and all that good stuff! :)
And what about it tells you this? Did Coca Cola ever make anything like this? From what I read they have. Oh and by the way this was a gift from a dear friend of mine who passed away. I wasn't looking to get rich just looking for some info. So I DON"T think I'll be using it as fire wood! :)
The more common ones are on darker wood but I have to agree with it being a repro. They are nice keepsakes to hang on the wall.
Cherish it as a gift from your friend, but I too agree that it is a modern creation with little to no value.

Have to agree, these were sold in Crafts Shows in the late 70s, early 80's, by decopodge artist. The wood is part of a recycled grape drying tray, hence the gaps. The poster was a reproduction, probably clearly marked on the border that was removed to give the edge the wavy look. Just enjoy it for what it is, a decorator item. Don't burn it! Who Know what carcingens are in the glue and varnish.
