1948 Coca-Cola Yellow Dot Metal Flange Advertising Sign

Description:
This highly collectible Coca-Cola yellow dot metal flange sign, dating back to 1948, is a fantastic piece of vintage advertising history. Made of sturdy metal, this sign was originally designed to be mounted on the side of buildings or posts, with its flange design allowing for enhanced visibility from both directions. It features the classic Coca-Cola script logo, along with a graphic of the iconic glass bottle. The prominent yellow dot adds a unique touch, marking this as part of a collectible series of Coca-Cola signage from the mid-20th century.

Condition:
This sign is in fair condition, showing significant signs of age and outdoor exposure. The surface has extensive rust, particularly along the edges and mounting areas, there is also some damage to two of the mounting holes. The Coca-Cola logo and bottle graphic are still visible but have faded over time, with noticeable paint loss across the surface. Scratches, dents, and general wear can be observed, contributing to its distressed vintage appeal. Despite these imperfections, the structural integrity remains sound, and it retains its original flange for mounting. This piece showcases authentic patina, appealing to collectors who value well-worn advertising relics.
