Staples at five and dimes along with that old corner store you loved going to as a small child to grab a refreshing Coke, this lot contains a neat assortment of vintage advertising including push bars, counter top glass jars, a calendar and more. Designed to stop you from putting your hand through the door’s screen, the four vintage French-language porcelain push bars hail from the nostalgic 1950s and each measure approx 3” x 31 ½”, with examples present for Coca-Cola (2, each slightly differs), 7-UP and Pure Spring ginger ale. Next, we have a pair of matching glass Planters Peanuts counter jars with illustrated metal lids (10” x 5 ¼” x 8 ½”), followed by an attractive die cut French-language Sweet Caporal cigarettes calendar from 1937 (10” x 12”), with beautiful blonde parade female. Lastly, we have a circa-1910s/20s Dominion Cigars framed advertising sign featuring wonderful period graphics (15 ¼” x 17 ¾”).
The push bars all display wonderfully, with light wear across each face which includes the odd small scratch or very minor chip to the surface, with a small area of wear visible to the paint on the upper right corner on one of the Coke push bars. There is also some expected chipping and minor rusting at each side where the bars are affixed, with a few also having broken grommets. This does nothing to affect the display value of the main sections of the push bars with the graphics. The Planters jars both have “Planters” in embossed letters over the front, with “Made in Canada” also embossed within the glass along the underside. They both remain in excellent condition with no cracks or chips, with just light wear to each lid. The calendar is in very good condition, with the calendar pad complete, with a bit of staining, toning and minor paper loss over the reverse. Lastly, the Dominion Cigars ad shows toning along with a horizontal fold line, with heavy wear/damage to the frame.
