Found this in a small thrift shop in Hertford NC > Looks like its real !?
Couldn't find one similar on the web
Help in identifying if real or repro would be appreciated ( Neither ephemera nor coca cola collectibles are my forte)

A little nicer than most checks, in that it shows the building and vehicles. Good find.
Anyone know anything about the building or location ( address) ? I can't find any info on web ( not even the Coca Cola websites > Trying to figure out if real or just a repro/ fantasy item
The Coca-Cola Bottling Co. of New York City, 330-332 W. 27th St., is listed in Joe Belliveau's book as founded 1904. Mr. Charles E. Culpeper of Rome, Georgia, eventually purchased it and the NJ bottling operation, consolidated, and made a fortune. Here's an interesting article from a 1921 Edison Monthly edition, about the two trucks shown on your check.
