This 1956 Coca-Cola lithograph hung seasonally at the Rivoli Theater in Falls City, on display from November through February. Kim was a projectionist there from 1972 into the 1980s, so it went straight into his own collection.
It arrived with tarnished, peeling paint, corrosion on the Coca-Cola medallion and grime on the poster. The frame was taken apart, stripped, sealed with shellac and repainted, and the poster was cleaned with light applications of wax and careful buffing.
