    Description

    You are bidding on an original Nehi Strawberry Soda metal can proof plate.
    This piece is in good shape considering its age. Colors are vibrant. There are very minor scratches on the painted surface, There are rust marks on the unpainted edges and very slightly on the top and bottom edges. This was back when nutritional panels and UPC codes did not exist, so it simply says NEHI IMITATION STRAWBERRY DRINK - CONTENTS 12 FLUID OUNCES.
    The end of the proof states, Manufactured under the authority of Nehi Corporation, Columbus, GA. The proof measures about 8.5" x 5". This is an amazing piece of history to frame or display.
    It comes in the original folder from Canco, the company making the proof. The proof is no longer stuck to the page. Please see pics.
