    Description

    If you were at a dime store or drug store lunch counter in the 1950s or 1960s, you probably saw these types of Coca Cola and sandwich backlit signs above the back counter. For sale are a vintage, super-rare set of 5 Coca Cola translucent lunch counter cards from late 1960s to early 1970s. Specific signs are 1) a glass of Coke with a cheeseburger, 2) a cup of Coke with a Swiss cheese sandwich, 3) a glass of Coke with a grilled cheese sandwich, 4) a glass of Coke with a tuna salad sandwich and 5} a glass of coke with an egg salad sandwich. I purchased these around 1970 from someone who took them from their original lunch counter location and later installed them in in a lightbox I built in my diner-style kitchen. In 2000, I moved into a new home; the signs came with me but not the installation.Some of the signs are of better condition than the others, but all present well backlit. Photos include flat art shots and backlit shots (I don't currently have a good lightbox to get the best effect). I have not seen this type of sign for sale anywhere since I bought them. In fact, I haven't even found any old photos of the signs in the stores. Sign size: 16.75" x 12.25". Please see my other advertising signs as well.
