The cardboards are some of my favorite pieces.  I have been trying to locate a specific set of channel cards from the early 50's.  They come in sets of 10.  I have 4 of 10 in the set.  I will add some photos when I get to a PC to re-size.

They are 7x24 there are several types, I'm looking for the earlier sets.

Thanks for sharing...

Jared

Jared,
 I like this size of menu card. These are all NOS out of the box.

Dave,

Here is a picture of the type of I'm looking for.  This particular sign I rarely see on ebay.  There is a pretty close set of the same period and the same art.  But they lack the glass on the right hand side and the Have A Coke with text on the sign.  I have discovered that types have 10 as well. 

Of course they are not listed in the book so I can only reference by what I have seen.

Very nice Jared. What year are those signs?
I bought these from a member. Very cool signs.
Getting ready to hang them.

They do NOT reference a year only numbers.  

I wish I knew more about them.  

Not best picture but you can see the differences.

Very cool. You might have to go to a coca cola nationals convention to find some more of these. It's kind of tricky to date them. You should be able to tell by the design of the bell glass. It had an evolutionary change over the years just like the hobble skirt bottle. My educated guess is early 60's......

I'd say too early to mid 60's I'd guess Jared..

Daves are earlier I'd say.. they look great!
