I'm loving your focus on your collection at such a young age. My youngest is a year older than you and is a collector but all over the place with it. You are on your way to being a great picker.
thank you very much vestaswind
im 21 and its nice to see a young collector keep it up.
Great find, did a little research and found on 2 examples selling, the las on ebay on 1-31-2008 sold for $70.99. Your can looks to be in nice condition. Remember as you get into collecting more condition is everything. always be looking for opportuitie to trade up.
thanks man. yeah i know the place i got this can they have 2 coca cola signs in mint condition but i have to cut them out of the wall where they were stored since new
Hey Man, go for it thats what pickers do! Just remember to offer to restore the wall if nessarry. 1 of my best Coca Cola finds were 6 1940's signs that had been used to insulate a wall in Wyoming. Just try to asess the condition and the value of the signs before you go to all the work. Good Luck
thanks officialfuel!
