Went to the same shop I went last week and the guy gave me this coca-cola label. Said he didn't know if it was real or repro but he gave it to me anyways. I belive it to be real and pretty cool too! Agree? This guy has given me things before for free but I wonder what he'll think when I tell him that.
the bottle w/ label is repro. but the one I just got has a different signiture? did they also reproduce Chas Candler's label?
I vote repro spriteboy42. I have one and it has the same break in the border just above the o in authority. I believe TGBWC has one too with the same flaw. When I look at mine under a loop, it is a two color print. Border and Coca-Colo logo is slightly different blue than the other print elements. See CW posting below. While mine is slightly out of register, you can see that break in the border is same location. Can't be coincidence.

Thanks for the info! I thought it looked too good for a label that old.
