Hob Nob Cafe Coca-Cola Sign
Object/Artifact
A one-of-a-kind tin neon sign for the former Hob-Nob Coffee Bar in Berkeley, CA. The sign is an exquisite example of custom fabrication with its corrugated faces, ornamental borders and frame, cut-out flat letters and three-dimensional “Coca-Cola” tin script. It is likely from the early 1950s at the newest, but it could be earlier. The sign can be separated into two halves for ease of moving.
