I haven't been a huge fan of Spriteboy, but I'm warming up to the little fella now that he tips his cap to the Coke Cave visitors. This WWII era litho print tavern sign was acquired via on-line auction for roughly 1/4 book value (Petretti's 11th).
Raised letters emphasize the bottle and message. Maker is Snyder & Black Inc., N.Y. Condition is less than perfect, with water stains and some paper lifting off the edges. But it's all there and makes a right proper entry sign, greeting all with great graphics and a nice message.
Welcome Friend - Have a "Coke". Short and sweet!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Easter weekend.

Goodness, a hard one to find, Dave! Great snag!
Looks better than your original mockup. Nice sign for entering the cave!
Thanks Gents.
Perry, I didn't realize this sign is actually mentioned in the Coca-Cola site link about Spriteboy until this morning.
Chad, except for the lighting, the mock up was pretty darn close to actual. There was never any doubt in my mind where to hang him based on the concept image.
A grand entrance indeed now Dave, the perfect spot for that one!
Happy Easter to you as well, and to the entire gang here!!
Cheers!!
Thank you Bernie!
