.....a faded 1910 Mecca sign painted on the side of a building on East 70th Street and York Avenue, NYC, likely a with similar consequence as the following sign.

The second sign is a Mecca Cigarette sign also painted in 1910, subsequently painted over with a Cola Cola advertisement. As the top paint wears away over time it reveals the older painting. The reappearance of a painting of an underlying image that has been painted over is called a pentimento.

This Coca-Cola and Mecca pentimento is on a building on the corner of Bleeker and Carmine Streets, NYC.

Great thread. I date this to circa 1910 just after the British American Tobacco Company was established in China. I still periodically gear up to do more research on it. thanks for looking.

neat advertising mirror but missing a few parts. I went back and forth all week about it - contacted the seller - tried to justify the retail - aesthetics - 90.00 shipping - whatever. I have a slightly earlier Duke advertising mirror with globe and wicks (also includes a tobacco insert card) made by the same company although a little "prettier" and complete. Ginter is a core of my accumulation so I was faced with a real predicament. I was fairly sure it wouldn't get a bid and I might have a shot to negotiate. You have some super advertising but didn't think of you. Curses!! ......and congratulations.
