Up for your consideration is a Vintage Embossed 1925 Guatemala Canada Dry Ginger Ale Single Sided Tin Sign * Drink Canada Dry *.
This extremely scarce sign is fairly large. It measures approximately 39.5" x 11". I took the photos next to the ladder for size reference.
The only area that is actually embossed into the metal is the words "Canada Dry".
The colors are pretty good I would say. There is no flakey paint. All the paint on the sign seems to be really intact. The sign as... a whole exibits a very slight dullish patina. Most of all the colors and graphics are present. The largest loss of color would have to be the spot directly above the "C" in Canada (see pic).
As you can see it is single sided and shows a little rust in a few locations on the front, more so on the back. Though it is rusty on the back, it's not nasty rust. You can run your hand over it and your hand will still be clean.
Being a thinner type tin sign, the sign has some bends. Please see pics of the edges where these bends are the most noticeable. When the sign is displayed flat and gazed upon from the front, these bends are not that noticeable.
As far as the 1925 date is concerned, I'm not sure how long Canada Dry used the 1925 label on their export bottles to Guatemala. Maybe through the mid to late 1920s? Maybe through the early 1930s? Im not sure. So I can not guarantee that this sign is exactly 1925.....but maybe! Someone out there knows.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns that you may have. If you need additional photos please contact me.
Due to the nature of vintage soda sign memorabilia, this item will be sold AS IS WITH NO RETURNS.
Thank you.
