Merry Christmas,,,Coca Cola style!

Post by singin46 »

Well many of you may know that I collect vintage Coca Cola items. My wife, after many weeks of intense work and being gone from home, surprised me today with this 1941 "Singer" cardboard sign. Quite rare and perfect for the man that has almost everything else Coke! Needless to say I was extremely shocked that she pulled this off without me knowing about it ahead of time. Course I was out of town for nearly 2 1/2 weeks. Anyway here she is, the only cardboard Coca Cola sign I ever wanted,,,,Geee, I wonder why??? ::woot::

Very nice Perry. What's the era? If I were asked to guess, I'd have to say 1940s with a leeway of a decade on either side. You have a keeper there and I'm not talking about the poster.

Oh you're right Scott, and Jerry it is from 1941, right at the start of WWII. My mother would've been around 15 or 16 years of age.
Thanks everyone for the kind words, she's a great girl! my wife I mean. :mrgreen: Hey Murph, I actually had to move a few things around to make it fit. You make room for this kind of stuff. ::nod::
