Title: New Coca Cola Sign Post by: Slapshot42 on May 12, 2017, 10:47:59 pm Added this late 1950's Coca Cola Menu Sign to the collection this week. I have looked at different ones over the years and finally landed one I liked!!
It missing the end pieces which I hope to try to make, and the fonts is a ittle bit off but all and all it displays very nice ! Title: Re: New Coca Cola Sign Post by: Slapshot42 on May 12, 2017, 10:49:14 pm Original Stock :

someone sells/makes repro channel cards on eBay... those would be easy to make also... I have that original looking font. Awesome sign... great addition for sure. Congrats! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: New Coca Cola Sign Post by: Ltransam on May 14, 2017, 08:36:18 pm Very Nice!!! Congrats !

I will color match off the bottom for the paint . Not sure if he will be able to trace the fork and knives, etc. Would be interested in the font be created .

Title: Re: New Coca Cola Sign Post by: MoonDawg on May 15, 2017, 11:46:48 am I'm not sure that sign had end pieces. Yours looks exactly like the one in Pettreti's guide P.262.
Menu boards of that era that did have ends, usually had a bottle and a Sprite Boy rather than the knife and fork. Anyway, it's a nice sign just the way it is. I like it! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: New Coca Cola Sign Post by: Slapshot42 on May 15, 2017, 02:07:30 pm I'm not sure that sign had end pieces.
