Soda Advertising

[helgramike]

Picked up a nice advertising piece for the Pioneer Soda Works out of the old mining town of Bisbee, Arizona. The advertisement is reverse painted glass with a second pane with a sihoulette of a cowboy on a horse leading a pack horse. It was originally an ice box or cooler door with an oak frame and nickle coated brass fittings. It was in pretty poor condition when I got it so I had to do some restoration to the frame and re-assemble the pieces. Luckily the glass just needed to be cleaned and the paint was still in excellant condition. The piece dates from the late teens to early twenties.

If your refering to Ron Fowler's hutch listings, then yes. He was the first to know of this hutch other than it's digger and myself.

I believe I sent a different photo to Ron. I took one outside and another with my light box when I got the bottle.
