Original Listing Description

Although I’m a retired 78-year old former teacher who has delt in antiques on the side for years, I can’t say that I ever did much with Coke collectibles. But a friend’s husband recently passed away and he was an avid collector. She’s asked me to help market his collection. There’s some GREAT stuff as far as I can tell including this two-sided 24” x 22” hanging triangular sign which is dated 1933 and marked “Tenn. Enamel Mfg. Co. Nashville.” It is solid and HEAVY so buyer to pay $35 shipping within the U.S. Due to ebay policies, I reluctantly have a “no returns” policy, so look closely at photos and ask questions first.

On Oct-17-24 at 14:33:48 PDT, seller added the following ebayer has a book he consulted which says that the original of this sign was made in porcelain. However, as noted with the "Tennessee Enamel Mfg. Co." label, this one is painted. He feels sure this one is a repro. I'm not out to hook anyone on ebay, so I'm posting his input with appreciation for his sharing more expertise than I have. As I've said, this is not my collection and I'm just listing it for a friend whose husband was the collector and has since passed. In any case, this two-sided sign does look great. On Oct-17-24 at 14:44:58 PDT, seller added the following again from the same collector who said the originals were only made in painted tin and not porcelain. But this enamel reproduction version was made to seem like porcelain even with the enamel paint label.On Oct-17-24 at 16:45:51 PDT, seller added the following adding to this listing. Another ebayer has assured me that the Tennessee Enamel Company made this sign for 3 years, 1933, 1934 and 1935. He has no doubts it's the real deal! I'm still just doing my best to share what I'm learning along the way!On Oct-22-24 at 05:18:11 PDT, seller added the following information:I ve added three more closeups of the front (side with date and Tennessee Mfg) and then three closeups of the back.On Oct-22-24 at 18:52:30 PDT, seller added the following information:A bidder asked about the five or six spots on the coke bottle on one side of the sign. When I run my finger across them they are rough, rather than smooth like the rest of the bottle. Hope that helps give a better sense of the condition.On Oct-24-24 at 11:08:51 PDT, seller added the following information:I ve just added another photo to the listing with a close up of the seven spots on the bottle on one side of the sign. As I noted previously when someone pointed them out to me, they do feel rough to my touch and not smooth like the rest of the bottle. But I don't have a clue as to whether they are an original factory error. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
