[TONI-KOLA SECRESTAT. WINE WITH FRESH KOLAS FROM CONAKRY (French Guinea). Original publicity plaque. 20.3 x 36 cm., titles in off white on a red rectangle within a trompe l'oeil golden border with details in black, one hole on each corner, polychrome enamel on to?le, French text. N.p. [ Bordeaux], n.d., [J.H. Secrestat Aine?], n.d., possibly 1890s. £150.00 A bit scratched with a rusty scratch on the lower right where the sign has been crumpled and straightened in the past. Seems rare. A melange of Bordeaux, Coca leaves and fresh Kola nuts that marketed itself as a tonic. Not unlike Pemberton's prototype for Coca-Cola in the USA. The Belle E?poque market seems to have been very crowded with plant drug laced alcoholic stimulants that jostled for attention with Mariani's coca wine. 243818.
