This one is a repop not sure about yours but our coca cola experts will know .
Hi Manikin would you be able to steer me in the right direction at all please
Daddy _Nobucks on this site and a few others will be stopping by and will be able to tell you more about your sign if original or not . I don't see the reg on yours which is odd but they will know .
Sorry but your sign is definitely a repop , the original version of this sign was made in 1902 by the Meek Co in Coshocton, OH, and books for $5500, but it's quite diferent than yours. A picture of it can be found in Petretti's #12, pg.199
Yeah its just unusual we have these ones over here in Australia especially the ones that specifically say "Soda" so any help is appreciated greatly and thank you.
Moparmad, pickerknows would know so you can can say you have a repop not a original for sure now he is one of the experts on these signs . So your solved :-)
Yes a repro of the early Shonk sign, no question. Coca-Cola was first made available to the Australian market during the late 1930's.
Thanks for the info guys its hugely appreciated and it will take pride of place in my pool room still : )
It is still a cool decor piece ! :-)
