During World War II, metals were needed for military purposes, so sign makers had to adjust the materials that they used. Before the war, all signs were made of tin and other metals, so manufacturers now had to use different materials. Masonite was the choice for Allen Morrison and Coca-Cola on this vertical sign, which features a lady enjoying a bottle of Coca-Cola. The Masonite sign has had a frame added at some point, which allows you to display it nicely in your collection. Minor chips with paint loss are evident on the sign’s face in various places. A few cracks in the Masonite are seen as well. The larger one measures about 3 inches and is on the right side of the sign. A 2-inch one is along the top edge, and a small chip is seen on the left side near her wrist. We do not see any signs of touch-up work, and the gloss is sharp on this 1940s sign. The outer frame measures 52.5 inches tall by 17.75 inches wide. 21567-UEP
