Dr Pepper stained glass type 100th anniversary sign
« on: March 11, 2021, 03:20:57 PM »
I have had this sign hanging in my shop for the last 15 years and as yet have not found it anywhere on line.  The 100th anniversary was in 1985.  It is quite attractive, but is it real?

I assume you are asking, "Did the Dr. Pepper people make that sign?"  Seems like that's a question to ask them directly: https://www.keurigdrpepper.com/en/contact-us.

If you're asking, "Am I hallucinating?"...well, that's a different question, between you and...not sure.  :smiley:

Dr Pepper is a carbonated soft drink. It was created in the 1880s by pharmacist Charles Alderton in Waco, Texas, and first served around 1885. Dr Pepper was first nationally marketed in the United States in 1904 and is now also sold in Europe, Asia, North and South America, and Australia, as well as New Zealand and South Africa as an imported good. Variants include Diet Dr Pepper and, beginning in the 2000s, a line of additional flavors.

Hey Les. Assuming that the ebay seller is legit, that one would be an original. I think coolford is asking if his is a repop. Just my 2 cents, which is usually only worth a penny!! Regards, Lou

Thanks Lewill2 for the link, I have checked e-bay dozens of times to no avail.  That post does not say it is over 100 years old, but that it says over 100 years on the sign.  Obviously it could not be over 100 years old since the 100 years was in 1985 and the sign  was made to mark the first 100 years.  Still, the post is confusing.

My sign is exactly the same, and it is glass.  Hanging in a south window for 15 years has not damaged it.  I would never consider selling it as I enjoy the seeing the sun bring out the colors when I glance at it.  By the way, I paid $3.00 for it at a garage sale in Florida in the late 90's.
