RC Royal Crown Cola Vending Machine Sign Backlit Plastic Panel Circa 1970s-80s

A Royal Crown Cola vending machine face sign - a translucent plastic panel printed on the reverse so it lights from behind, about 34.75 by 21 1/8 inches. The graphic is the red RC script inside a white half-round on turquoise, with "Royal Crown Cola" set above it.

It came off a vending machine and could be backlit again if you wanted it that way. I'm not sure of the exact years this particular sign was in service. The logo is the version Royal Crown used from roughly 1969 into the late 1980s, so the artwork is 1970s or 1980s.

There is also a "do not tip or rock this vending machine" safety decal applied at the lower left, and that style of label came out of the vending industry's 1995-96 safety campaign - so the machine was still working somewhere into the mid-1990s, whatever year the panel itself was printed. Soda advertising at this size doesn't turn up often, and a lit panel on a wall reads very differently from a flat tin sign. Contact me first for that option.
