Just wondering if anyone has any info on this? I can not find anything anywhere. The only markings are the Mexico and M R on the Coca Cola logo in the middle. I just got it about a week ago, the lady I got it from said she bought it at an auction at least 25 years ago for $500. Just curious if anyone knows anything. Thank you.
It is a Modern FANTASY piece.

I keep getting a couple of people telling me that, and no disrespect here, but no one seems to have details to go along with that statement. Was it a mass produced item, in what year was it produced, I want details!!! Lol :)
Don't know any thing about the age, I never seen one like that one before. But old or new it is so cool looking. Great find!
I thought so too cokehenry!! :) I'm quite excited about it.
International pieces are a challenge to identify sometimes, typically there isn't a lot of documentation on them, especially decorative items like your beautiful bench. The center back sign is the dynamic ribbon or "wave', which dates to 1970's at earliest. The logo and bottle details are somewhat crude, so it may be a one of a kind effort by a native artisan.
Cool, thank you Daddy_Nobucks. Is there someway I can "apprentice" under someone that knows more about how to date stuff and how to tell if something is original or reproduction?

I know where two of these exact benches are located, and I've looked for information on them for two years to no avail. Have you found any new information? Thank you!
