Coca-Cola and Ice Cream

Coca-Cola and Ice Cream
A Vintage Photos Theme Park photo for the theme of ice cream.

To pose for a picture, some young men and women have gathered around a table in what may be a soda shop or ice cream parlor. One of the guys is wearing a paper soda jerk cap, and another one has a "Marco" baseball jersey. Three of the women have saddle shoes, and the one standing on the left-hand side is wearing a skirt with a nautical theme (the pattern in the fabric depicts boats and docks).

A number of Coca-Cola bottles are on the table, and the signs arranged around the room feature advertisements for Dolly Madison ice cream, ice cream soda, Coca-Cola, and ice cream cones. The back of the photo is stamped with "Property of Mrs. Napoletano," but there's no other identifying information.

Signs:

"Dolly Madison Bulk Ice Cream. Deliciously Different. New! Convenient Shape. Easy to Dip. Easy To Store."

"Chocolate Ice Cream Soda."

"[Hospitality.] Coca-Cola."

"[Image of an Ice Cream Cone.] Great for the Kiddies. Good for You."

Wow! This is a classic slice of a certain segment of Americana in the late '40s or early '50s, i would guess. That ice cream cone sign looks very inviting. And the "Coke in Candlelight" sign would probably fetch a bundle today.

Geez, Deborah and Rick! I missed the forest for the trees! How did I not see that this is a stage set? A closer look reveals that the doorway at the back is probably painted on the wall, the view out the window is definitely painted, and so is the wood grain of the wainscoting along the bottom of the wall. Thanks for pointing this out!
