The poster is devoid of a maker mark or date, so 1922 is a close approximation. The serving tray at the base of the steps is recognized as having the traits of the 1922 issued serving tray of Coke. This poster was found in the basement of an old building in Portland Oregon in the late 1980s. Although the edges exhibit small bumps, the central images are spectacular with day one color and clarity! It seems you can reach out and feel the corduroy jacket and silk dress of the man and woman illustrated. Except for an example in The World Of Coca-Cola Museum in Atlanta, this is believed to be the only other known example of this early piece!
