A good bit of the fun in collecting vintage Coca-Cola signs and advertising pieces is running across old stuff that I never would have guessed I'd buy. For example, this 1948 silk scarf by Baar and Beards Inc., from their "Top Hit" fashion line. The great graphics and high quality fabric contribute to a very fine piece of clothing. It is listed in Petretti's 12th on page 551. I was the lone bidder on an eBay auction, brought her home for 29.99 delivered. Last year I picked up a couple early change purses, now a scarf, uh-oh, could it be Nobucks is becoming a Fashionista? Nah. Just captivated by yet another small, seldom seen piece of Coca-Cola ad history.

Will you be framing this or have you a plan for a Coca-Cola clad mannequin display???
I should have it framed some day. I was wracking my brain trying to figure out another way of displaying it. I like the mannequin idea! Maybe just the head on a shelf in the corner. Hmmm... brunette, wearing the scarf and a pair of 50's cat-eye sunglasses... oh yeah the wife would love that... :)
Yes... Yes, indeed!! Start out inconspicuously with it before you run with the big display option, lol
I vote for puttting on mannequin in your coke room :-) These are wonderful heck I would wear one today their so cool . Love them !
Here's a nice set of earrings that'll compliment your silk scarf:
