This is an authentic rarely found 1910 Coca Cola sign.
“DRINK” “Coca-Cola” “DELICIOUS AND REFRESHING”
Made by “PASSAIC METAL WARE CO LITHO. PASSAIC, N.J.”
Please note the rare label used on the bottle.
The patent date on the label is 1907.
I referenced http://colafountain.topcities.com/slogans.htm
to verify the approximate year of use of the slogan.
This was hanging in a general store in Maine for it’s whole life.
The last photo is a copy of a drawing and photo of the old General Store in Masardis Maine.
It has what I believe is the original red hanging string on the back.
There is wear as shown.
There is an indent the size of a dart point on the yellow area to the left of the
C in Coca on the brown part of the bottle. (Just above the paint loss spot.)
The colors are still crisp and not faded.
There is a very slight bend on the right bottom beveled edge.
The back is whole and intact, as shown.
There is discoloration on the back probably from a wood stove.
6″ x 13 1/4″
