I'm surprised I didn't think of this sooner, but compare this close up of the bottle from the retro sign and Kathy's bottle cap, and you will see they are the same image. Both have the sailing ship with the main mast going up between (near) the letters P and E right in the center of the word Popeye. I am speculating here somewhat, but if Kathy's bottle cap is real and original, then I have every reason to believe the image on the sign was (at some point) taken from a "real" bottle. If so, then at least now we know what it looks like. And I'd say as I suspected earlier that it is a paper label bottle with a front label as well as a neck label. If you think this is just a coincidence, then "blow me down" and I'll shoot myself like I alluded to earlier. But the question(s) still remains ... Where is a real life photo of the bottle, and is the bottle "amber brown" as the retro sign suggest? (Hmmm ... maybe the sign isn't so retro after all. Maybe it's a "reproduction" of a "real" sign). Whatta ya think?
