This auction is for two tin 1930s art deco menu boards issued by Coca Cola. They originally were hung in a diner in the New England area and the owner used them not to write the lunch or dinner specials on but to keep run totals for each National League and International League baseball teams on a weekly basis. In 1930, the National League consisted of the following teams:

1930 National League

Team Standings

Team [

St. Louis Cardinals

92 62 .597 0

Chicago Cubs

90 64 .584 2

New York Giants

87 67 .565 5

Brooklyn Robins

86 68 .558 6

Pittsburgh Pirates

80 74 .519 12

Boston Braves

70 84 .455 22

Cincinnati Reds

59 95 .383 33

Philadelphia Phillies

52 102 .338 40

As you can see in the photos, there are the teams detailed in the first board. The second board features the line-up of International League teams, which were as follows:

Baltimore Orioles Buffalo Bisons Jersey City Skeeters Montreal Royals Newark Bears Reading Keystones Rochester Red Wings Toronto Maple Leafs

On each board there are spaces to enter each team's run totals for the day. As for condition of the boards: the board with the National League roster is in better condition of the two. It is in god condition with minimal wear, holes where it was nailed to the wall, some slight creases and wrinkles but nothing that can't be fixed up. The second board is in rough shape with some rust and slight metal loss along the top edge (see pictures for a better idea) and general wear and tear. Despite the condition of this piece it still makes a great wall hanging. Both of these pieces are genuine and not repro and aside from great Coke pieces they both make excellent additions to any baseball fan's collection. Buyer will include $15 for shipping and insurance. Take advantage of the low 'Buy It Now' price before they get bid higher. Any questions please ask before bidding. Thanks!
