The Story:
Our client's father worked at a Coca-Cola plant during the early 1950s, he found a few of these posters and brought them home to cover the ceiling in the new garage. They were used face up on the rafters, so the images were protected from sunlight, the color is good but it does have a number of holes in it from mounting.
Please see the photos, this is the exact poster you will receive when you win.
