Soda Signs (non Coca-Cola)Coca-Cola may have invented modern advertising as we know it, but that does…
dalet007, I have seen this sign before, it dates to 1940's. You have a great find here.
Thanks for your feedback and imfor.I was lucky to find this great old sign!!
Yes you was. Do you collect advertising signs?
Yes i collect advertising signs.Ive got maybe 25 or 30 with most being Soda Signs!But i got more bottles then anything!!
I see you have the same addiction I have, but I love this addiction.
Yes, ive got it bad!!Do you know where I could maybe find out what this sign might be worth?
250.00+ in excellent condition , but it always comes down what someone is willing to pay. Yes I have been collecting for a little over 30 years, so i guesss you could say i have it bad also.
250.00 is what book value was on sign 8 years ago. the last one I seen sell about a year ago was a little over 300.00.
Thanks for your imfor.Didnt realize I made such a good find.Im ashamed to say what I paid for this.One of my all time deals in signs!
I tried to hint to you it was great find. Do not be ashamed, feel good about getting a good deal. Everybody needs to score big every now and then, keeps you motivated.
Yes, guess you are right.I was in the right place at the right time.Got it at a local flea market And guess the seller didnt know what he really had!
There you go and you did not either, nothing to feel guilty about. I have a few of my signs posted, click on my profile and you can view if you like.
dalet007, Yea, no reason to feel guilty, he did not know and neither did you. Advertisingfan I do not see any items in your profile.
Stihl, I had just posted them. did not realise that they did not go through. Not sure what the problem is. will repost photos when I figure it out.
Would this double cola sign be considred rare?
