I noticed the signs I've collected for my decoration project all incorporate one or more 3 basic elements: Discs/Buttons, FishTail Logo, and Bottles. I've purchased a couple really nice die cut bottle signs on "best offer" deals. My favorite is the porcelain version on the left, seller listed as 1950, I can find no maker's mark, nice condition w/ chip out of the cap, I paid $200+$12 shipping (listed in Petretti's 12th as valued $400). The other is a tin sign on right, excellent condition, seller listed as purchased at a Coke convention 20 years ago, marked A-M 10- 56, I paid $175+$13 shipping (listed in Petretti's 12th as valued $200). I like seeing these two signs side by side, because of the incredible graphics. The porcelain bottle has a depth of color though that really floats my boat. I'm always interested in any comments. Thanks.
