Collection of five great pieces of 1950s memorabilia. First, there is a 13" x 20" porcelain on tin Wonder Bread sign with eight holes for attaching to wall that reads, "Builds Strong Bodies 8 Ways!" The sign is in EX-MT condition with light scratches and light rust on edges. Next we have a 15" high x 6" wide x 6" long Topper one-cent gumball machine in mint condition, square cast aluminum (forest green base with black rubber baseholder) with square glass globe. On the front glass it reads, "Topper 1 cent." "Topper" was the top of the Victor Vending line. There is a framed (20" x 27") 1964 paper Coca-Cola sign with light wrinkling and some staining on the upper left corner. It pictures a large glass of ice with an open bottle of Coca-Cola next to it, surrounded by green ribbon and reads, "Lift! Taste! Energy! Enjoy real refreshment, Whenever You Pause...Enjoy The Pause That Refreshes." There is a 30" x 8-1/2" 1958 painted tin Coca-Cola sign with thermometer, shows some scratching and minor paint loss but still a beautiful example. Finally, there is a 1950s metal roll candy dispenser meant for display on the countertop. Measuring 20" x 21" x 10", it has four rows to hold display boxes of Life Savers with facsimile Life Savers packs on the bottom. In overall EX-MT condition with light rust on the bottom.
