Lot of (3) Original 1943 Coca-Cola "Our America" Educational Lithograph Prints – Transportation Sub-Series
Up for sale is a beautiful, highly collectible 3-piece gallery set of original vintage lithographs from the historic 1943 Coca-Cola "Our America" educational classroom series. Distributed to American schools during World War II, these sets were designed to teach students about the nation's key infrastructure and industrial sectors.
True to the original 1943 series design, the Coca-Cola brand name is intentionally omitted from the front of the artwork to comply with historical classroom standards, making these highly unique crossover pieces for both Coca-Cola enthusiasts and mid-century art collectors.
