This is a mint condition cardboard 2-part sign from the 1950s. The hand holding the bottle is a separate piece.
I bought this years ago at a local estate sale. Found it (along with 4-5 other vintage Coca-Cola cardboard signs) by looking under one of the beds in the house. They were just stored in a huge envelope. Estate sale person didn't know how to price them so he said "$25 for all." I said to myself, "Thank you God!"
I had it professionally framed in a shadowbox-type frame and it sits waiting in line for wall space to open up in the Coke room.
Note: Always look under beds and under furniture (and on top shelves) when going to estate sales....because ya never know!

Cardboard SignsCardboard signs were widely used in the 20th century to advertise everythin…
LOL, YES!
Ray, this is a motion sign like the one I posted recently. On the back of the hand with bottle there is a little cardboard square that holds it to the arm of the motor.
I thought so. And there are two slits on either side of the "Take Enough Home!" piece. Was this meant to be attached to an actual 6-pack or case of Coke?
It attaches to a 6-pack.
