Raised the banner today! I decided to leave "as is" for the most part, because it fits nicely on the wall opposite our office space. Now I can wheel around in the desk chair and soak up that early 1900's Coca-Cola vibe. Framer did a very nice job. He really hit the mark in reproducing 1" of the border on the missing end to finish it off (tan matte and spray paint!). Took 2 months to get a piece of plexi measuring 16" x 117" delivered, apparently they don't have that size laying around at the glass manufacturer. It was worth the wait. I'm happy with the way this piece displays.

Thanks Scott!
Is the reproduced section just laying under the old?
It seems to blend in well.

Looks awesome! I love the chairs, too! Good job ;)
Scott - yes, the not glued or anything, just in there freely. The guy did an incredible job matching it.
Hi hotkitties! Thank you. And I will pass on your comment about the chairs to my wife. We have a whole set from her grandparents and use them throughout our basement (aka Coke Cave!). She loves them and I should appreciate them more, I know! :)
Looks awesome Dave, you're right,the framer was excellent, nice job with the entire piece! The room looks super, and your new addition is the "icing" . Nice collection buddy. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas!
Thanks Bernie! And thank you for the nice card. Susan and I really appreciate the gesture, it added to our seasonal joy. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Sir.
Thanks Ray. Yes, patching the end was a good idea... let's see, who was that dude that suggested it... hmmm... Ring Size... nah... Sun Rise... uh...KingPrize something-or- other...? :)
LOL, Looks fantastic Dave! Perfect for the wall and room. That is a loud and proud Mantique right there, allll day long!
Thanks Perry. This one does sorta make... a statement. Not sure exactly what... maybe "HERE I AM!!!!" :) I like what Bernie said, it's the icing. That means I must be done with the cake. Did someone say put a Cherry on Top?????
Oh, don't tell your wife but I don't think you're ever really done Dave.
I think you still have a lot of room left on them walls and that could be bad or good thing dependin who yer talkin to.;)
Man, I wish it was done when I was over. Looks really nice!
Thanks! You're welcome to come back anytime CCKid.
Definitely looks great Dave!! The whole room is looking good and still plenty of room for the "fillers", lol.
Thanks Tommy! As you know, those Little Fillers are just as - if not more- expensive than the Big Daddies! I do appreciate your kind words, and wish you and your family the happiest holidays ever.
Very nice. Good choice on leAving mostly as-is. By the way, Pepsi is better. Just kidding.
Hey, high praise indeed from a Pepsi Guy, Thanks BK!
One of the nicest Coca-Cola advertising signs I have ever seen! Very simple yet tasteful. GREAT size as well. Beautiful find! Enjoy it.
Thanks zguy! I do enjoy This Old Sign as one of my favorites. I appreciate the comment, and it provided me an opportunity to check out your magic posters collection. Very cool. Works of art.
Thanks Daddy, I appreciate you looking. I have a passion for original stone lithographs, especially Magic posters. Glad you liked them.
Sorry missed this until now, Looking great. Thanks for the link to view it.
