Bobby Jones was the most famous product to come out of Atlanta, Georgia since, well, Coca-Cola. And after he retired from competitive golf, Jones essentially made a living practicing law for the iconic soft drink company. But despite this connection between Jones and Coca-Cola, because of his amateur status, Jones was never able to endorse products such as Coke during his playing days. There are a small handful of Bobby Jones Coca-Cola advertisements, but not many. Which brings us to this interesting piece...

Offered here is a scarce Bobby Jones Coca-Cola advertising sign. This advertising piece dates to 1947. We are not sure if Bobby Jones was ever paid for endorsing Coca-Cola (keep in mind that Bobby Jones represented Coca-Cola as their attorney during this time period), but we are still surprised that this advertising piece exists.

This thick cardboard display measures 14 7/8" x 13". Fair condition with discoloration on bottom right, and back is town. Made of thick cardboard.
