In my opinion all the signs shown were licensed under the Coca-Cola company. I know they may not say Coca-Cola directly on the sign, but pretty sure Coca-Cola has the rights to all these companies atleast in Canada for sales of that product.
Sprite, Fanta, and even Canada Dry are all sold as Coca-Cola products in Canada. The only vending machines, or coolers you see in Canada now in days are Coca-Cola, and "P" machines. Not sure if thats how those products are sold in the US, but as long as I have been alive these products have always been sold under Coca-Cola.
Picture one shows 1965 Sprite sidewalk sign in excellent condition. Pretty sure Sprite is hard company to find signs for, they came out in the 1960s? I think this might have been one of the early signs for Sprite. Also seen in picture one is a 1959 Canada Dry palm push. Pretty rough condition, but hard push to find, so enjoying it as is until I can find a better.
Picture two 1970 Fanta sign, on the back side of the sign its stamped property of Coca-Cola ltd. I still gotta clean this sign, I think it will clean up bit better, just been really busy lately. Fanta signs bring big money in my area, not really sure why (not much of a fan myself lol), I guess Coca-Cola solution to Orange Crush worked?
Picture 3 double sided porcelain coca cola side walk sign. I had one of these in the past but was pretty rough so ended up trading it. I saw this sign sunday priced pretty low, so I took her room. Hard to find Canadian WW2 sign (dated 1941), Coca-Cola stopped production of this sign due to war materials needed. This was the only Canadian porcelain sidewalk sign Coke made. I gotta find the stand for mine, if any one sees one let me know please and thanks.
Pic 4 I got another stadium carrier!!! lol hard to tell which one cause I got soo many now, but managed to make a trade with CCkid for the 1960's French carrier. Hard to put a price on the French version when the english version is not worth much. I figure since I really wanted the French version to have with my english it was worth paying as much as the english one is worth.
The french carrier looks right at home Trevor. As always, impressed with the other collectables you have shared.
You seem to be branching out... just like Coca-Cola did! ;0)
Thanks CCkid & Dave! Sprite and Fanta signs seem really hard to find in my area. When you do managed to find them, they can be pretty pricey.
Sweet! I'm glad to see you're branching out as well.
Thanks Perry!
