Bob Hudson Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share #26 Posted May 8, 2008 Here is the only one that I own, I dont know what magazine it is out of but it is dated 1940 so actually pre-war, but still my favorite of them all. That's a great one. Coke hired some of the best illustrators of the time to do those old ads and there seems to be a lot of historical accuracy in the images, which makes them all the more interesting. There's a website at http://www.digitaldeliftp.com/LookAround/a...t_cocacola5.htm which some more on Coke's wartime advertising and they show a couple of the ads my album is missing, including that China ad from December 1943: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share #27 Posted May 8, 2008 I had thought this album was missing the April 1945 image of soldiers (and sailors) in Italy but I found it in there tonight. The sailors actually look like Naval officers and/or CPO's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Patches, Thanks for this shot, don't recall seeing it before, I'm mainly into Normandy photos as I live here. Went to an auto-jumble last weekend and saw a circular red Coca-Cola fridge ( imagine a bass drum shape ), should have taken a photo of it never saw that shape before. Interesting on the Coca-Cola check ( cheque ) that the date 1-11-44 is perforated into it. A couple of photos from my Coke collection, I have bottles dated 42 - 43 - 44 - 45, still looking for a 41 dated bottle. In 2018 I sold a 1937 dated German manufactured Coca-Cola bottle, I still have a 1939 example, I believe the sale of Cola stopped in Germany once America joined the war in December 1941. . . regards lewis. ..

doyler Posted October 21, 2021 Share #43 Posted October 21, 2021 provably have most all of these or doubles still on the war time magazines. No one wants the old National Georgraphic magazines unless they are the insignia issues. Saw dozens and dozens over the years torn off magazines and framed.

doyler Posted October 21, 2021 Share #44 Posted October 21, 2021 also recently bought a lot of adds from Life. I saw the seller a month ago at the flea market. He had the complete magazines. Went back and he now has tore them all apart as he didnt want to have the magazines take up space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
