The “Coke Cop” Sign
Coca Cola Cop School is a piece of history. As collectors we are always on the search for signs that are unique and have the wow factor. One of those signs we believe is the Coca-Cola Policeman Crossing Sign What makes this sign a real standout is its size, shape and the colors of the policeman crossing guard.
Originally produced and released in the 1950’s as a promotional piece for Coca-Cola. This was a very popular item for schools all over the country to warn drivers of an upcoming school and crosswalk The back side of the sign showed a Coke bottle and the words Thank You and Resume Speed.
