? RARE Antique Coca Cola Charlie McCarthy CBS Advertisement Banner Sign, 1949
eBay This is a seldomly seen and RARE Antique Coca Cola Charlie McCarthy CBS Advertisement Banner Sign, screen-printed on cotton canvas, advertising both Coca-Cola and the Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy Radio show, which was sponsored by Coca-Cola beginning in 1949. Bergen and McCarthy promoted Coca-Cola in both CBS radio programs and print ads until 1952. The first ever Coca-Cola radio commercial was heard during the Charlie McCarthy Show. This piece reads: "Coca-Cola brings you Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy Sunday Evenings...Tune in KNX - 5:00 P.M." These banners are very rare and pop up on the market about once every 20 years or so. Collectors do not want to part with them, and very few have survived intact. Only one other example is known to exist. Approximately 42 1/2 x 60 1/4 inches (including frame.) Actual visible artwork is approximately 40 1/2 x 58 1/2 inches. Good - Fair condition for 70+ years of age, display usage, and storage, with some small tears to the canvas, scuffs, and areas of soiling (please see photos.) The contemporary custom wooden frame has some chipping, hairline cracks, and edge wear. Considering that this advertisement is on canvas, these condition issues could be addressed by a tactful Art Restorer. Acquired from an old sign collection in Los Angeles County, California. Due to the large size of this piece, S&H costs will be unavoidably high. However, Free Local Pickup from Los Angeles County, California is also an option. If you like what you see, I encourage you to make an Offer. Please check out my other listings for more wonderful and unique artworks!About this Item:The oldest food hocking dummy they have is Charlie McCarthy, the ventriloquist dummy of Edger Bergen. The Edgar Bergman show was a ventriloquist radio show debuted in 1937 on the Chase and Sanborn Hour. In 1949 the show, now called the Charlie McCarthy Show, adopted Coca-Cola as their sponsor and Bergen and McCarthy promoted it on the radio and in print ads until 1952. The first ever Coca-Cola radio commercial was heard during the Charlie McCarthy Show. The sale was led by an original oil painting featuring radio stars Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy checking out a cooler full of Coca-Cola from 1949. This artwork was used in numerous company advertisements and also prominently featured on the back cover of an issue of National Geographic in 1950, attributed to Haddon Sundblum. The artwork opened at $18,000 and shot to a final price of $53,680. It fell to the bidding number wielded by Ted Ryan and Justine Fletcher, who were in the gallery representing the famous Atlanta headquartered company’s archive department. (Condition: Pre-Owned)

Rare Coca-Cola's 1942 Lithographi Ltd Ed Restoration Declaration Indep by Ohman
Rare Coca-Cola's 1942 Lithographic Limited Edition Restoration of the Declaration of Independence by Theodore Ohman in original frame matted and framed under glass. Coca-Cola name on front of Lithograph at bottom as shown in photo. Coca-Cola name shown on original plate on back of frame on the original plate as shown in photos. This piece combines a rare and collectible example of Coca-Cola Advertising with an important collectible example of American History and Americana in Theodore Ohman's real size and most accurate example of this faithful lithographic restoration of our country's Declaration of Independence dating back to 1942. In one more year, 2019, collectible lithograph distributed by Coca-Cola will be 77 years old. Read the fascinating account of how Theodore Ohman came to produce this lithograph online Approximate dimensions of frame: 34 x 29 inches.Label on the back says: This print has been especially lithographed in a limited edition for you by your friendly neighbor who bottles Coca-Cola. It comes to you with his compliments. “The Declaration of Independence” This is the only authentic restoration of our Nation's most historic document in its actual size that shows the precise penmanship of the engrossed script... the exact signatures of the members of the Continental Congress, as they were in 1776... and also the actual colors of the original parchment, as it is today, cracked and smudged by time and handling. The Declaration of Independence, reverently preserved by our Nation, is one of the world's great documents because it proclaims, boldly and eloquently, those principles of Freedom, Tolerance and Justice which are inherent in the souls of decent men. It is a bold declaration of Freedom – the motivating force that impelled men to sever beloved ties, to brave treacherous seas in frail craft, to take root in unknown lands It is the declaration of Faith by men who dared to die that Religious and Civil Liberty might live... men like Patrick Henry, who said, “Give me Liberty, or give me Death.” On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee introduced a resolution in the Continental Congress that “These United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and Independent States.” A committee of five, of which Thomas Jefferson was Chairman, was appointed to draw up the Declaration. This draft was presented to Congress on June 28. The resolution as debated until July 4, 1776, when it was adopted. From the tower of Independence Hall, in Philadelphia, the Liberty Bell pealed forth the message which was inscribed on it. “Proclaim Liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof” The echoes of that bell ever since have resounded throughout the broad expanse of our great and free nation. On July 19, 1776, the Continental Congress ordered the Declaration to be engrossed on parchment, and this is the exact reproduction of the original which was signed by the members on August 2, 1776, and, of the parchment as it appears today. This immortal document, which is the essence of Americanism, sets forth the triune foundation of our country. LIBERTY, EQUALITY of opportunity, and JUSTICE”... principles which will be perpetuated forever in the hearts of all true Americans. This faithful restoration of American's greatest document is the creation of Theodore W. Ohman, of Memphis, Tennessee, originator of the detail relief maps in lithography, whose work in documentary reproductions has received national acclaim.This lithograph will appeal to lovers of American History as well as collectors of Coca-Cola advertising memorabilia.

Measurements: Items are not measured exactly. Unless otherwise specified, measurements quoted above are approximate to the nearest inch. For example, if we say a one sheet poster is 27" x 41" its precise measurements may be closer to 26 3/4" x 40 7/8" (or something similar). This slight variance is quite common for all original movie posters. ***************ABBREVIATIONS IN TITLE DESCRIPTION*************** ORIGINAL MOVIE POSTER (U.S.A.): Poster that was issued for a movie by the National Screen Service (NSS), or by a movie studio, or by another company authorized by the studio for display in an actual movie theater or for promotional use at the time of the films release. Posters that were made to be sold to the public in stores or online are reproductions/reprints and are NOT original movie posters, even if they were printed around the time of the films release. Rerelease and posters with "Academy Award" on them are also "original" but they are usually considered less desirable. NSS (National Screen Service): From 1939 until the mid-1980s the NSS distributed almost 90% of all American movie posters. During the 1960's and 70's they had at least 6 regional print shops: New Jersey, Cleveland, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Wichita, and Dallas. They produced, printed, distributed and stocked all of the materials for most of the major movie studios. NSS was bought out by Technicolor, Inc. in 2000. Movie studios mostly now print and distribute their own advertising materials Folded & Rolled Posters: Older posters, prior to the mid 1980's were usually (not always) issued folded while newer posters are issued rolled. Vintage original movie posters were normally printed in very limited quantities, thus they are rarer. All of them were not meant to be saved. After their initial use they were supposed to be returned to the studio or destroyed Authentic original movie posters usually contain an NSS information tag/paragraph and number. However, this is not always true. There are plenty of original movie posters that do not contain NSS info. To complicate matters, just because a poster has an NSS tagline, NSS number, and a GAU (printer's union) logo, does not necessarily mean it is an original movie poster. There are many fakes and reprints that have this printed on them to make them appear more authentic. Studio (non NSS) issued posters: Considered original. These were a different print run at the time of the films initial release often printed directly for or by the studio for promotion and as giveaways to industry insiders. Not necessarily for use in an actual theater, but sometimes they did make their way there. May differ slightly or be exactly the same as the NSS printing (except for NSS tag and number at the bottom). In many cases these are rarer than the NSS issued poster. Common standard sizes include: One Sheet 27"x41" or 27"x40", Insert 14"x36", Half Sheet 22"x28", Three Sheet 41"x81", Lobby Card 11"x14", Window Card 14"x22". Measurements on these can vary slightly, but usually by no more than a half inch or so. ADVANCE (ADV): Issued well in advance (usually many months) of a film's release. Usually a one sheet. Very often similar to the regular issue but with an added line of text like "Coming This Christmas". TEASER (TSR): Issued before a film is released. Usually a one sheet. Designed to pique interest "teasing" by showing very little. Very often contains plain text or a single picture without text. Usually rarer than the regular issues. INTERNATIONAL STYLE (INTL): A poster made in the U.S. for international use. Often featuring different artwork, but sometimes they use almost the same exact artwork/design. Sometimes the artwork/photos are more risque and sometimes they feature an alternate title. Usually lacks a RATING (G, PG, or R) because foreign countries do not use the U.S. movie ratings system. STYLE A,B,C,D: Studios often issued many different styles of one sheets for the same movie. They still do. To differentiate them they were often marked as Style A or Style B etc. DOUBLE-SIDED (DS): In the early 1990's some studios started issuing movie posters that were printed on both sides. This process makes the poster stand out more in a theater light box display. Today, most posters are printed with single sided and double sided versions. RE-RELEASE (RR): Re-release or reissue posters are original theater used movie posters, but have considerably lesser value than a first release poster. Most often you can determine a reissue by looking at the bottom of your poster in the right hand corner. There will usually be an R in front of a year number as in R56 if it is a reissue. Other clues are phrases such as "An Encore Hit", "Brought Back by Popular Demand or Nothing Cut But the Prices. TRI-FOLDED: A poster with three machine fold horizontal foldlines but no vertical machine foldline. Poster will be shipped rolled in a tube. ***************ABOUT US*************** My wife & I have been selling vintage movie items on eBay since September 2000 and our feedback speaks for itself.

CONDITION REPORT > A NOTABLY WELL PRESERVED EXAMPLE ~ PERHAPS TYPICAL AND MINOR ELEMENTS RELATIVE TO AGE, USE AND MATERIALS ~ NO OVERT ISSUES. HISTORY of COCA-COLA BOTTLING in BRADFORD, PENNSYLVANIA The Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Bradford, Pennsylvania, has a history that reflects the broader story of Coca-Cola's expansion across the United States during the early 20th century. Located in McKean County in the northwestern part of Pennsylvania, Bradford's Coca-Cola bottling operation served a vital role in distributing the popular beverage to the region, which includes parts of Pennsylvania, western New York, and other nearby areas. The Bradford Coca-Cola Bottling Company was established in the early 20th century, a period when Coca-Cola was actively expanding its network of independent bottlers. This system involved local entrepreneurs obtaining exclusive rights to bottle and distribute Coca-Cola in their respective territories. These bottlers would receive the syrup concentrate from The Coca-Cola Company, mix it with carbonated water, bottle it, and then distribute it within their designated areas. Bradford, Pennsylvania, is a small city in McKean County, situated in the northwestern part of the state near the border with New York. Its history is closely tied to the oil industry, which played a central role in the city's growth and economic development. The city was settled in the 1820s, originally as a small, rural community in a region known for its dense forests and wildlife. The areas development accelerated with the discovery of oil in the late 19th century. In 1875, oil was found near Bradford, which triggered a local oil boom, transforming the city into a bustling industrial hub. This discovery came shortly after the first major U.S. oil strike in Titusville, Pennsylvania, in 1859, and Bradford quickly became a key part of the oil region. The Bradford Oil Field, located in the surrounding hills, was one of the most productive oil fields in the world at its peak. By the late 1870s and into the 1880s, Bradford was at the center of a major oil rush, attracting prospectors, workers, and entrepreneurs from across the country. The citys population swelled, and infrastructure developed rapidly to support the booming industry, including the construction of railroads and refineries. One of the major developments was the establishment of the Kendall Refining Company in Bradford in 1881, which became one of the citys major employers. This refinery specialized in the production of lubricants and motor oils, contributing to the city's reputation as a center for oil refining and related industries. Kendall's motor oil products were known for their high quality, and the company remained an important player in the industry for many years. Bradford's growth during this period was marked by a mix of prosperity and the challenges typical of boomtowns, such as rapid population growth, economic volatility, and fluctuating fortunes tied to the price of oil. The city also experienced fires and other growing pains that were common in rapidly developing industrial towns of the time. As the oil boom declined in the early 20th century, Bradford transitioned into a more stable, yet diversified, industrial economy. While the local oil fields remained in production, the focus shifted to refining and manufacturing. The city maintained a role in the oil industry through companies like the Kendall Refining Company, and oil production continued on a smaller scale as secondary recovery techniques kept the wells producing longer than initially expected. In addition to its industrial base, Bradford became known for higher education with the founding of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford in 1963. This branch of the University of Pittsburgh helped to support the local economy and provided educational opportunities for residents, contributing to the city's cultural and social development. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, Bradford has faced the challenges typical of many small industrial cities, such as the decline of traditional manufacturing and the need to adapt to economic changes. Today, Bradford is a community that blends its industrial heritage with natural attractions like the nearby Allegheny National Forest. It retains historical landmarks from its oil-boom days, which reflect the citys important role in the early days of America's oil industry. The Penn-Brad Oil Museum is one example of how the city preserves its history. This museum documents the history of oil production in the region and highlights Bradfords unique role in the industry. Bradford is also home to Zippo Manufacturing Company, famous for producing Zippo lighters since 1932. The company is a symbol of Bradfords ability to adapt to new industries and remains a major employer and tourist attraction with the Zippo/Case Museum. Today, while the oil industry is no longer as dominant as it once was, Bradford remains a city proud of its rich history and industrial heritage. The local community continues to celebrate its past, even as it adapts to the evolving economic landscape of northwestern Pennsylvania. \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ PLEASE USE THE EBAY "CONTACT SELLER" FUNCTION TO CONTACT US AND RESOLVE ANY QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING FREE SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM TO DOMESTIC ADDRESSES ONLY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING AVAILABLE FOR SOME ITEMS ~ CONTACT US FOR A RATE QUOTE BEFORE BIDDING > (Condition: Pre-Owned)
