1950s Coca Cola Porcelain Sign Delivery Truck Header NEW OLD STOCK Minty Coke
It has a porcelain (not paint) finish over steel. This sign / truck header is in as near-perfect condition as you will ever find. It appears to be NOS (new-old-stock), and does not appear to have ever been mounted or displayed. The colors are as-new, and the gloss is also day-one beautiful. I guarantee this sign to be old and authentic. I would date this to right around 1958, when Coca-Cola updated their corporate identity color scheme to white background with red lettering (as opposed to a red background with white lettering).

If you are a collector, I can assure you that you will never find another one of these in this rare condition. Measurements are approximately 50" long, 10" high, and 2 deep.

This truck header is, in its design, gently curved both across its width (as you look at the face of the sign) and also in its depth (as you look at the edge of the sign from the top or bottom). So, the total height and depth would be greater due to this curvature. There is a very slight amount of very light surface rust on the mounting brackets on the back of the sign, but I believe that would clean off with a little bit of effort.

The back of the sign also displays some minor manufacturing blemishes, as is typical for porcelain signs. Also, there are some very minor scuff marks along the outer perimeter of the face of the sign that I think would also polish out. Other than these issues, the sign is MINT , and NOS. Note: In some of the pictures, I goofed and a bit of the blue cloth I was using as a background covers the front bottom edge of the sign.

These are not blemishes, but only the cloth getting in the way of the camera. Also, the sign was manufactured with two holes which are seen in the top face of the sign---these are intentional as the truck mounting angle supports would be screwed on here. For the discriminating collector who wants the best, I have priced this to sell quickly. But, that sign was heavily damaged and of newer vintage (it is incorrectly listed as 1940s, but is actually later than the one I have listed here--note the "Enjoy" in a more modern font which came later than the "Drink" of my sign's vintage). The sign I list here is a bargain when condition is considered. The item "1950s Coca Cola Porcelain Sign Delivery Truck Header NEW OLD STOCK Minty Coke" is in sale since Wednesday, August 14, 2019.
