Drink Nehi Embossed Steel Sign
Pre-1955 · embossed steel · later pine frame
The Story
A "Drink Nehi / Ice Cold" embossed steel sign from the years before Nehi Inc. became the Royal Crown Cola Company in 1955. Yellow ground, red block letters raised from the steel, the script "Drink" still crisp. It has lived outdoors: the left margin has rusted through to black and the back is a map of brown corrosion, which is the color old steel goes and modern reproductions do not. A previous owner built it a plain pine frame, which we have left on because it holds the weak edge. Twenty and a half by fifteen inches of panel. Pickup only.
