Hello and thank you for taking your time to view our listing. The sign shown in all photographs is the exact item being offered for sale as shown. Sign is an original very early advertising item from the Double Cola company. As shown on the back of the wood frame, the sign itself has an original old company location label on it from Chattanooga Tennessee. The sign is made of the old hard stock cardboard as most signs were in the early 1940’s time frame due to metal being strictly used for war efforts. We have done extensive research online in regards to finding more information about this particular sign, as well as the possible artist, along with exact date of production. After contacting the actual Double Cola company itself we did determine it to be very early 1940’s, and it is a very rare early advertising piece. Sign comes from the former left over contents of an old general store that went out of business in the mid 1970’s. Thankfully someone thought enough of the uniqueness of the sign to not throw it away with the other left over items. One thing we personally are curious about with this piece is the slogan on the sign, along with the image of what the lady is actually doing. Is it possible she is making reference to cocaine when saying “Substance from Foreign Lands” and she is using a pharmacists mixing tool. Has us wondering exactly what is going on and what the sign is implying. We personally love the sign ourselves and it’s unique and rareness. It’s one of those rare signs that you just do not see and is not common at all. (You will not find another online). Please message us with any questions, or if needing to see any additional photos.
