I just wanted to see if anyone has seen this before or knows which display it may have come from. It's a heavy cut cardboard Coca Cola glass about 6 inches with the trademark reg us pat off in the tail of the first C. It also has a very sturdy stand up wing on the back, I'm thinking it was part of a larger sign display for a shelf dating from the 20s to the 40s, but I have a strong feeling it's in the early 1930s. There is a beautiful bright blue on the bottom portion. Any info would be much appreciated!!!
cheers!
Hard to say, it could have come off a cardboard cutout or sign. I've looked at the guides and don't see a glass with blue underneath.
Glass with soda looks refreshing and delicious!

thank you edisonfan, it looked like almost the same glass from the '27 soda jerk sign, with its style & color, but of course that one was part of the display without the blue bottom.
It certainly looks right for the period. Appears to be die cut, rather than snipped from a sign. Great condition. Could have been a stand alone piece placed on a fountain counter. It bears a strong resemblance to my 30's decal. I think you have a very cool little gem.

thank you @daddynobucks, I agree with your observation. the sides are super neat and smooth and the stand up wing suggests it was a counter standing item. I'm suspecting it had another element or two. cool mirror by the way!
