Here are a couple of my favorite cardboard signs. The first one I bought at my first Coca-Cola Collectors Club Convention in 1993. It's a little rough in the corner but I only paid $20.00 for it. The second one I got at the Portland, Oregan convention but just finally put a frame on it this week. It is from South Africa and written in Portugese. Apparently I like girls with really long legs. The emblems on the frames are original but I made the frames myself.
Coca Cola SignsFew brands have been as effectively and aggressively marketed as Coca-Cola,…
Cardboard SignsCardboard signs were widely used in the 20th century to advertise everythin…
nice signs, do you have a template for the frame ? I have 3 cardboard myself and I'd like to made amso a frame for mine
Love the long legs, oh ya the frames are nice too.
Amazing job on the frames, they look just like the real deal!! Nicely done Spiteboy!(The long legs are sweet too!)
Thanks, I used one of my original frames as a pattern. It also helps that I'm a carpenter/cabinetmaker.
Me too Bill!!!
Nice frame work Bill. Hard to tell from the originals. What's the length of time and cost needed to make one frame? Yes, I love the legs too.
by the way to see if a frame is original or not, the originals were stamped on the back "property of coca cola bottling co" "kay inc..."
Really?
yes on the back of every kay frames
here are the pictures :

Hi, the second is wonderful but I almost sure that its not from South Africa because they dont speak portuguese there... maybe Portugal or here from Brazil. Congratulations for this super rare cardboard...
Actually in the bottom right hand corner it says "Printed in Johannesburg, South Africa". I have no idea why it's printed in Portuguese.
