 Lot 272. Circa 1940s Dartmouth Dry Ginger Ale Original Metal Sign from Buds Best Beverages. This double-sided 17.25” x 23.75” sign represents the Newport Bottling Works of Newport, NH. The Dartmouth pennant on the sign pays tribute to the nearby Ivy League college in Hanover, NH. The bottling works had its origins in a grocery store opened in the early 1900s by Alexander Budnitz. In 1917, Budnitz became a licensee of Coca-Cola. In 1922, he opened the Newport Works to produce his own sodas. The facility closed in 1972. Both sides of the red, green, orange, black and off-white sign have rust at the top. One side has light soiling in the top left and a scratch in the top right. The other side is better, expect for a well-attached piece of masking tape that we have left in place. The sign is an attractive vintage display piece.
Winning Bid $115.
