Coca-Cola Introduced into the
Republic of China

In 1967, Coca-Cola completed an agreement with the Republic of China (Taiwan), and the world-famous soft drink was allowed on the island for the first time.

Bottling facilities were opened, and overnight this small nation blossomed with variations of the traditional red Coca-Cola signs beautifully painted on metal.

In the intervening 34 years, that generation of signs weathered and rusted so badly in the rain and monsoons that they were eventually replaced with differently designed signs.

One of those first-day signs, however, was purchased and brought to the U.S. in a steamer trunk. It has a scratch or two, but is in remarkably good condition considering its vintage.

This sign contains Chinese characters "K'e K'ou K'e Le" reading from right to left, followed by the same in English, and the sign is identically painted on both sides.

Kept in a private collection all of these years, the owner has now decided to offer this extremely rare piece of Coca-Cola history for sale. It is the only Chinese sign from 1967 known to exist today.
