RARE 1940'S PEPSI BIG SHOT ADVERTISING SIGN




This is really a damn kool find. A rare Pepsi-Cola cardboard litho bus/trolley sign from the 1940's  and it's in excellent condition other than a crease .These signs go for more than $100 in rough shape and are highly prized by Pepsi collectors around the world
 


    The "Big Shot" advertising shows a young boy and girl along with the double-dot pepsi logo. The artwork for the advertising  was done by Whitney Darrow, Jr .The sign measures 11"x 28"  and has  LITHO IN U.S.A.-K-32 printed on the bottom left hand corner and C-119 in the bottom right hand corner.
        

The colors are still very sharp and this will look great framed and mounted .Iconic advertising

Vintage 1977 Blatz Beer Sign




 Blatz Beer is truly an iconic American beer  and will always be known as Milwaukee’s Finest Beer .This bar sign for Blatz beer  is made from hard plastic and was produced in 1977 .This puppy measures in at around 16.5 inches by 20 inches and is about an inch and a half thick.
Like most Blatz Beer signage this one is becoming harder to find .The  Heileman Brewing Company were the controlling company of Blatz from 1969 to 1996. The sign is in damn good condition and is pretty sharp looking . Kool for any bar,lounge or man cave
