Terms & Conditions We advise all bidders to read the Terms and Conditions of the Sale before bidding with Dan Morphy Auctions LLC and/or its affiliates Morphy Firearms LLC, and Morphy Auctions, Las Vegas collectively referred to below as MORPHY’S. Those who bid are bound by those Terms and Conditions of the Sale, as amended by any oral announcement or posted notices, which together form the contract of the sale between the successful bidder (purchaser), MORPHY’S and the seller (consignor) of the lot.
TERMS OF SALE
When bidding on any lot offered by MORPHY’S, the bidder indicates acceptance of the following Terms of Sale. Any participation in the auction binds you to agreement of these terms whether or not you read or understand said terms.
CONDITION OF ITEMS
MORPHY’S makes every effort to accurately describe all items offered in its sales, however all items for sale are “as is,” and it is the bidder’s responsibility (present or absentee bidders) to determine the exact condition of each item. MORPHY’S will not be held responsible for typographical errors. Neither we nor the consignor, make any guarantees, warranties, or representation expressed, or implied, in regard to the property or the correctness of the catalog or other description of the authenticity of authorship, physical condition, size, quality, rarity, importance, provenance, exhibition, literature or historic relevance of the property or otherwise. No statement anywhere whether oral or written, shall be deemed such a guarantee, warranty or representation. Prospective bidders should inspect the property before bidding to determine its condition, size and whether or not it has been restored. The consigner and we make no representation or warranty as to whether the purchaser acquires any reproduction rights in the property. Returns will not be accepted under any circumstances. All items will be available for preview one (1) month prior to the auction. All items are sold for display purpose. If electrical, mechanical, or other working parts are inoperable, even if working at the time of sale, we are not liable due to the inherent nature of the age of these antiques and items. Submit all questions regarding upcoming auction items at least 48 hours prior to the date of auction. We will make every effort to answer all submitted questions in a timely manner. However, we cannot guarantee that questions submitted within 48 hours of the auction date will be answered prior to the auction. GAMING DEVICES - MORPHY’S may hold these items for up to 5 business days to allow state agencies to verify the purchaser’s information. All auction participants are urged to check the legality of possession in and/or shipment of gaming devices to their state of residence. Ownership of gaming devices is prohibited in these states: Alabama, Connecticut, Hawaii, Indiana, Nebraska, South Carolina, and Tennessee. If you become a high bidder on a gaming item, and you are from one of the prohibited states as listed here: • You must pay for your item, • You will not be able to take possession of the item (MORPHY’S cannot ship it to you or allow pickup), • MORPHY’S will consign the item in your name to the next appropriate auction.
If you do not pay for the item in full, MORPHY’S will block you from participating in future auctions. Any gaming device purchased at the auction shall be used for the purpose of display or social entertainment within the private home or residence of the buyer, and such devices shall not, in any event or manner, be exposed to the public for the purpose of gambling or be resold in the state of Nevada without a gaming distribution license. Proof of residence/ID is required for purchase of gaming devices.
GOODS MADE FROM OR CONTAINING MATERIALS FROM PROTECTED SPECIES - MORPHY’S does not accept any responsibility or liability for the sale of items containing materials from protected species or for any omission in marking or labeling goods as containing materials from protected species. Such material includes, but is not limited to, ivory from elephants and walruses, tortoise shell, crocodile skin, whalebone, rhinoceros horn, some species of coral and certain woods. Restrictions on the importation, exportation, sale, transfer, and/or possession of goods containing materials from protected species derive from international, federal, and state laws and regulations promulgated thereunder. Laws include, but are not limited to, the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Flora and Fauna (CITES), the Endangered Species Act (ESA) and the Marine Mammals Protection Act (MMPA). States currently restricting trade of protected species include, but are not limited to, California, New York and New Jersey. Prospective purchasers are on notice that several countries completely prohibit importation of property made, all or in part, of protected materials. Some countries require special permits, such as a CITES permit, from the relevant regulating authority in the countries of exportation and importation as well. Potential purchasers intending to import the property into another country should be familiar with the relevant customs laws and regulations prior to bidding on goods containing material from protected species. Regulations may vary as the U.S. generally prohibits importation of articles containing material(s) from species it has designated endangered or threatened if the articles are less than 100 years old, subject to certain exceptions. It shall be the potential purchaser’s sole responsibility to research and satisfy the requirements of any laws and regulations that apply to the import and export of property as described in the aforementioned paragraphs. All purchasers agree to comply with any and all domestic and international restrictions on the trade of protected species as a condition of the sale. Please note that the ability to obtain an export license or certificate does not ensure the ability to obtain an import license or certificate in another country, and vice versa. It is the purchaser’s responsibility to obtain any export or import licenses and/or certificates as well as any other required documentation. MORPHY’S is not able to assist the purchaser in attempting to obtain the appropriate licenses and/or certificates, and there is no assurance that an export license or certificate can be obtained. The inability or delay in obtaining permits, licenses or other permissions to import or export goods containing material from protected species will not constitute a basis for rescission or cancellation of the sale of said goods or the delay in payment of purchased items in accordance with these Bidder Terms and Conditions.

Terms & Conditions BIDDING RIGHTS & RESPONSIBILITIES
The auctioneer will determine the highest bidder. The auctioneer alone has the right to reopen the bidding of an item if deemed necessary due to a dispute. If there is a tie bid between the floor and Internet or absentee bid, the floor bid takes precedence. MORPHY’S and its representatives reserve the right to remove those attendees who impede preview and/or the auction. Title to all merchandise shall pass to the highest bidder at the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer. The buyer will then assume all risk and full responsibility of the lot purchased once ownership has changed. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. MORPHY’S is not responsible for any errors in bids, omissions of bids, or failure to execute bids and shall have no liability to any bidder for any technical or other failure associated with the internet, absentee bidding, or telephone bidding. • ABSENTEE BIDDING - MORPHY’S will accept absentee bids if pre-authorized by mail, fax or through www.morphyauctions. com online. Absentee bidders must use the absentee bid form and clearly mark the lot number, title and maximum bid amount. Absentee bidding forms may be accessed online at www. morphyauctions.com. If there are two (2) identical bids placed on the same item, priority will be given to the first bid received. All bids must be left in increments as explained on our bid form. If a bid is “out of increment,” the auctioneer has the right to round the bid up to the next correct increment. Bidders may preview, register and place bids online through our website, www. morphyauctions.com. Absentee and online bids placed through www.morphyauctions.com will be auto charged to the credit card entered 48 hours after the end of the sale. If you wish to pay by another method please contact us within 48 hours after the sale. Seller(s) agree to allow the Auctioneer to accept and execute absentee bids in a competitive manner for potential buyers and under the Morphy Auctions absentee bidding terms and conditions. During the live sale, the auctioneer will execute your absentee bid competitively up to the maximum amount you have indicated. • ONLINE BIDDING - Online bidding through www.morphyauctions. com, Live Auctioneers, Invaluable, Proxibid, or other bidding platforms may be available; all Terms and Conditions still apply. If there is a tie bid between the internet bidding venues and the floor, the floor bid takes precedence. If a credit card has been provided to one of the online bidding platforms, MORPHY’S reserves the right to use and charge the credit card if the winning bidder has not paid via another method by the 7 day term in Payment Terms below. Due to our fast paced auctions and bids coming from floor bidders, phone bidders, internet bidders and absentee bids, the auctioneer has the final word on all item(s) sold. You (the bidder) assume the risk of winning an item online and not having the item actually sell to you. This is due to the final call of the auctioneer and the operator not being able to re-open that lot. • BID RESULTS – MORPHY’S will only contact successful bidders. Please allow 24-48 hours post auction to receive your official invoice from Morphy Auctions. The invoice will include item, hammer price, premium, packing and handling, shipping, insurance, and any other charges that apply. Please hold phone inquiries regarding bid success until after receiving your invoice. For verifications, MORPHY’S cannot provide winning bid information until the second business day after the auction. MORPHY’S will not provide bidder information to any outside sources.
• TELEPHONE BIDDING - Requests for phone lines must be received at least three (3) days prior to the auction date. MORPHY’S cannot guarantee phone lines but will make every attempt to accommodate those who wish to participate through that method. Phone lines are provided on a first come first served basis. Please visit www.morphyauctions.com or call 717-335-3435 to request a call from our representatives during the live auction.

PACKING/SHIPPING
• It is the bidder’s responsibility to take shipping and handlings & insurance costs into consideration when bidding on items. • BIDDERS PRESENT AND TAKING ITEMS AFTER AUCTION – Since item liability transfers upon a successful bid, items paid for must be packed, transported and/or removed by the purchaser at his/ her own risk after the close of the sale. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. If any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and responsibility and expense of the purchaser. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. • ITEMS NOT PICKED UP THE DAY OF THE SALE (DENVER LOCATION ONLY) – Packaging, shipping, and insurance on items will be made available as an added courtesy and cost. We recommend that you arrange insurance for your items immediately upon becoming the highest bidder. Again, if any employee or agent of MORPHY’S shall pack or transport the merchandise, it is fully at the risk and
responsibility and expense of the purchaser. MORPHY’S shall not be held liable for any loss or damage that may be caused by the said agent or employee. All applicable charges will be applied. Shipping will be based on actual costs via FedEx, FedEx Freight, or USPS (best way). Handling and insurance will vary in cost depending on each invoice. All packages will be shipped with insurance. Items will ship seven to fourteen (7-14) business days after payment is received. • INSURANCE – Shipping insurance is automatically added up to $1,000 for every package. If your package is valued at >$10,000 we will also automatically add “Additional Insurance”, which you can decline by contacting us. If you wish to arrange for “Additional Insurance” for packages valued between $1,000 and $10,000 please contact us prior to payment and we can quote this additional insurance amount for you. Insurance for all 3rd party shipments must be arranged through that carrier. • INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS – MORPHY’S has the capability to ship to international bidders. By law, MORPHY’S cannot, and will not, declare lesser values for any international purchases and all shipments will include the invoice with purchase totals including the buyer’s premium and shipping cost. All international bidders are responsible for knowing their country’s laws on importing items and for paying all customs and duties on the items. • 3RD PARTY SHIPPING of Large Items – Bidders MUST arrange and pay for 3rd party shipping when packages are a certain weight, length, or dimensional size. ∙ Dimensional size is length (the longest measurement) + (height x 2) + (width x 2). For example a 36” x 36” x 12” package = 36 + (36 x2) + (12 x 2) = 132” ∙ USA home shipments must be <70 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ USA business shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <165” dimensional size ∙ International shipments must be <150 lbs. and <108” length and <130” dimensional size ∙ There may be certain shipments that meet these requirements that will still require 3rd party shipping, and we will communicate the reason in those cases. • STORAGE FEE – MORPHY’S will charge a storage fee of $50/week for any items awaiting pickup for more than 14 days following the auction date.
APPLICABLE LAW

A FEW WORDS ON THE
ROBERT NEWMAN COLLECTION I met Bob in May of 1988 for the first time at the Pop Poppenheimer collection auction in Memphis, TN., a landmark sale of Coca-Cola memorabilia that was amassed by another legendary collector. As I was one of only a few collectors and dealers selling in the hotel rooms after auction hours, it gave me a great opportunity to meet and get to know Bob. I sold him some things that are being offered in this auction, at least two of which I can recall. Having just launched my full time antiques sales career, I was excited to meet a true and avid collector and buyer who had great passion for these artifacts of the past. Since that day, Bob has become known to perhaps most of you reading this introduction in a similar fashion. Like many of us, Bob has bought and sold, which has supported his permanent collection and given him many friends and contacts in this enjoyable hobby. Rare has been the occasion where I have seen Bob on the road at shows and meets, that he has not added at least one or two pieces to his permanent collection, in the 125 to 150 plus times we have seen one another since that initial 1988 meeting. His focus has always been on all price ranges, with a special emphasis on items not often seen and on a high state of condition, whenever possible. Numerous pieces from Bob’s collection are the examples featured in Petretti’s Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guides, such is their rarity. This auction of Bob’s property and the one following in a few weeks includes all of his Coca-Cola and soda items and everything tobacco related from his current permanent collections. Nothing has been held back. In a way, I feel as though they are partly mine too, since he shared many of these finds with me wherever in the U.S. we may have found ourselves at a particular function, or in my visits to his homes. This auction is a testimony to what can be assembled over time, with desire, diligence, and dollars, of course, one piece at a time! We at Morphy Auctions hope you enjoy the offerings and we wish you all the best of luck in expanding your collection through these offerings of Bob’s! Best regards, Gary Metz
Please Note: Bob requested that I assign number grades to his items in the descriptions, so please bid with confidence! Only a few pertinent remarks, amendments, and consulted changes were made by Bob during the catalog proofing and finalization processes. 12

219 - CA. 1949 COCA - COLA ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING. 33” x 29”. This is a one of a kind and obviously rare original oil painting either executed by Haddon Sundblum, or could easily be attributed to his work.

The artwork, of course, features Edgar Bergen with Charlie McCarthy and is iconic in nature relative to the advertising history of the Coca - Cola company. The piece is attractively framed in a maple frame with no glass. The condition is wonderful with only one or two small and miniscule marks. Included with the lot is a Bergen & McCarthy 1949 paper sign, 1950 National Geographic Magazine with the exact artwork shown on the back cover, an additional back cover only from the same magazine, and a bit more support material. In 1951 Edgar Bergen’s radio show was the number 1 radio show in America. Well before most people had TV’s radios were in most everyone’s home. 9.7. (Near Mint Plus). 40,000.00 - 75,000.00

309 - RARE 1930’S LARGE COCA - COLA ORIGINAL ART. 52” x 26”. This is a beautiful piece of original art that would have served as the basis for a large horizontal Coke poster.

(Very Good - Excellent). 800.00 - 1,600.00
896 - 1950’S COCA - COLA REVOLVING LIGHTED DISPLAY. 22” x 16”. This display is complete with it’s original revolving stand upon which the yellow base sits. The piece lights up and revolves nicely.

897 - RARE 1930’S COCA - COLA BRUNHOFF LIGHT UP SIGN. 14” x 12”. This piece features a beautiful top and bottom lens, both of which are nearly perfect without blemish. The case has a bit of paint flaking and overall wear with a small bend on the top of the back portion of the case. Condition of the lenses are nearly perfect but condition rating reflects the state of the case. 8.5+. (Excellent). 4,500.00 - 7,000.00
898 - EXCEEDINGLY RARE 1940’S COCA - COLA LIGHTED SIGN. 15” x 12”. Never fully produced, but one of the greatest light-ups ever made. This is probably a one of a kind piece that was discovered years ago. It is a reverse on glass sign with depth and dimension, that has an integrated folding cardboard light box on the back to accommodate the light bulb assembly. When illuminated the six pack and the highlights have a 3D effect when viewed straight on and then you see seven or eight repetitive images when you move to either side of the piece. There’s only a little wear on the cardboard light box, and nearly no wear on the sign itself, with the exception of some very light dust and soiling on the outer lens. A great piece that is so impressive when seen in person. 9.0 - 9.5. (Near Mint). 7,000.00 - 14,000.00

900 - 1950’S COCA - COLA ILLUSION LIGHTED SIGN. 17” x 10”. As you move the border has a motion effect on this piece. The glass is very strong with no condition issues noted. The case has been repainted and has been replaced with a back that causes the side panels to no longer be beveled. 9.0 - 9.3. (Near Mint). 700.00 - 1,200.00
901 - 1950’S COCA - COLA WATERFALL LIGHTED SIGN. 19 -1/2” L. Nice, original example with very strong gold paint on the case. All the glass appears to be original and without blemish except for a very small edge chip on the top right glass which is mostly hidden from view. 9.4. (Near Mint). 1,000.00 - 2,000.00
902 - RARE COCA-COLA EDGE LIT COUNTERTOP SIGN. 13 - 1/2” x 7 - 1/2”. This is believed to be a rare prototype that was never produced in quantity. It does have an original metal tag on the back that says “Coca-Cola Bottling Co” and is riveted on the piece. The glass is beautiful and very finely made and true to the style of the 1940’s in every respect. Our guess is that these may not have been produced because the light will only operate by holding down the rear start button for ten seconds and releasing it very slowly. The company may well have rejected the sign based on that factor. Only very light plating wear on the gold tones of the metal base. 9 - 9.3. (Near Mint). 1,500.00 - 3,000.00
903 - BEAUTIFUL 1932 COCA - COLA CARDBOARD CUTOUT. 20” x 10 - 1/2”. Complete with its original string holder.

Very clean within the border with just a few small marks and slight fading. Light border wear with some fading on that as well, and also a few rubs and bends.

926 - SCARCE 1940’S PEPSI COLA TIN FLANGE. 15” x 14”. This sign is very hard to find and has nice shading and detail on the blue portions and side edges of the bottle cap especially. Very bright and clean with only some minor scratches and surface wear. 9.2 - 9.4. (Near Mint). 800.00 - 1,600.00

It initially had 5 Cents printed on each side of the bottle neck but then the factory decided to paint over that due to price increases. A lot of the over paint on the left side of the bottle neck did flake off in the past. Only a few very shallow dents and marks at the top of the raised frame. 9.6. (Near Mint). 1,500.00 - 2,800.00 196

Almost no marks or wear but there is a good bit of spider webbing rust lines underneath the paint. At the top is a WWII Navy girl with hat. All of that appears stable and doesn’t seem to be about to affect the paint surface. Virtually impossible to improve upon this example. 9.3 – 9.6. (Near Mint). 1,500.00 - 2,500.00
www.MorphyAuctions.com | May 22, 2016

Only a very small section of the lid gasket is missing. The crudeness of the finish and details is normal on these items. Much less common than the Coke sample coolers!
