Soda fountains had their glory days in the early years of the 20th century, and this heyday lasted until the 1950s. The fountains offered ice cream, meals and non-alcoholic beverages (specifically, Coca-Cola), and were the most popular place to get together with friends. When people started moving to the slums in the late 1950s, odd jobs lost much of their popularity.

Now, it's rare to find a vintage soda fountain establishment. However, this does not mean that the decorative objects from these ancient sources are useless. It's common for vintage Coca-Cola signs like this one to sell for hundreds, if not thousands, at auctions.
