To my surprise, this was in the antique store we hit today outside of Manchester, TN. My wife actually saw it before I did, she has developed quite the Coca Cola eagle eye herself these days. Obviously missing the framing and some damage up top but you shoulda seen it before I cleaned it! I think it might be an early example of the famous 1950s bottle style used throughout that decade. Thanks for the help Ray!! Little damage around the top but the image is solid and I think once I re-frame it, hopefully it will look better. As Ray says,,,,Coke IS IT!

Hey thanks chevy, bratjdd and Michael!!
I know you finished your post with coke is it, but i have not seen a nichol cola sign that large (usually just see the small verticals), how big is the nichol cola sign?
The coca cola sign is pretty sweet, I would like to find one myself, look forward to seeing yours framed.
Nice, looks rare.
Thanks Trev, Ed it might be pretty scarce anyway. Thanks Ed, Tommy and Trey!
Sorry for the delay Trevor, the Nichol Kola sign is 32" TALL by 10"WIDE, from the 1920s.
Thanks fifties!
Thanks Perry I was just curious, i usually just see the smaller door signs, neat to finally see a larger Nichol Kola sign.
Yeah, there are literally hundreds of the smaller tacker signs out there, I found this one and couldn't believe the condition of it. Hand painted signs from the 20s are extremely hard to find nowadays.
Sign, thats one nice sign u have there on the left! LUV the color combo & fonts. The Coke sign aint bad either, (considering the date). What year does the "Grey Rock" date to?
Mike I believe it's from the mid 30s. Thanks buddy!
its nice !!
