This gives the piece excellent crossover appeal for collectors of Coca-Cola memorabilia, Wall Street history, investment banking memorabilia and vintage corporate advertising.⭐ Condition – New Old Stock / Original Protective WrapMost importantly, this example remains wrapped in what appears to be its original protective plastic, which has never been removed during my ownership.The protective plastic shows expected age/storage wear, including wrinkles, scuffs, dust and loose/overlapping areas. These imperfections appear to be primarily on the outer protective wrapping rather than the Lucite itself.Because the wrapping remains intact, the Lucite surfaces underneath have not been fully inspected. The original wrapping will NOT be removed prior to sale. Please examine all photographs carefully for the exact condition.📌 Highlights:• Original corporate M&A deal toy / Lucite tombstone
