Description:

1890 tin sign 5"x 14". Certainly one of the very first tin signs used by Coca-Cola. Red remains remarkably bright on a white/ivory background. Nail holes, edge pitting and a bend, stains. A fabulous piece of history of the advertising of this company. There is no way to exaggerate the rarity of this little sign. Beautifully framed
