Contour Bottle Sign Appraisal

Coca-Cola Classic Contour Bottle Advertising Sign (Convex)

This item is a circular, convex Coca-Cola advertising sign, likely made of tin or embossed metal, consistent with vintage or retro advertising pieces. The sign features a vibrant, glossy red background, which is characteristic of the Coca-Cola brand. Prominently displayed in the center is a highly detailed illustration of a classic green glass Coca-Cola contour bottle, filled with the dark brown cola liquid. The bottle's cap is visible, featuring a white top with green accents. The iconic 'Coca-Cola' Spencerian script logo is printed in white over the bottle image, with 'Coca' to the left and 'Cola' to the right of the bottle, partially overlapping it. The craftsmanship appears to be of good quality, with clear printing and bright, saturated colors. There are no significant visible condition issues such as major dents, deep scratches, or rust, which would indicate good preservation. A subtle sheen suggests a reflective surface, possibly due to a clear protective coating. The slightly convex shape adds a dimensional quality to the sign. While no specific maker's marks or manufacturing dates are discernible from the image, this style of advertising sign, particularly with the classic bottle and logo, is typically associated with the mid to late 20th century. The overall appearance suggests a piece that has been well-maintained or is a more recent reproduction designed to replicate vintage aesthetics. It serves as a decorative item that evokes nostalgia for the brand.
