Cool Signs, 50's. I love seeing the international versions. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, those are really common here in Belgium, you can find at least one at every flea market during spring
Very cool sign, love the look of the room, very well done!
Love this sign i wish it wasn't so hard to find in Canada
The great thing about Coke, it always tastes the same no matter where you go in the world. That being said, I like it best in some foreign countries, in bottles sweetened with sugar cane.
fifties50s, if you dont mind me asking what were you able to pick this sign up for? or what do you usually see this sign going for since its a more common sign in your area? in Can or US dollars please.
Hi Trevor, this sign in perfect condition can be found here for around 130 USD $ in flea markets and can goes to 200 USD $ on ebay, there are 3 versions of this sign ( 3 in french and 3 in dutch ) you can see them in the articles I wrote on my blog : http://fifties50s.blogspot.com/2012/01/coca-cola-sprite-boy-plaque-emaillees.html
( sorry it's in french )
Pay attention, there is a reproduction of this sign in 1998 by coca cola company, the sign is smaller and has holes on each corner instead of the brackets.
I got this sign from a collector 110 USD $ and I also take the coca cola dutch button and the pepsi german porcelain sign
Thanks for the info, i have checking ebay for one of these signs but all i can find is the push plate sign (small sign that fit on door) not even sure if its original. heres an example of one im talking about http://www.ebay.ca/itm/300663900013?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_500wt_1287
would you ever consider selling or trading this sign?
Sorry but I like to keep it for now and shipping would be really expensive since the size and the weight of the sign
no problem i would hold on to it too :)
Very nice sign! It's a shame they are repoping it left and righ even in the size you have. I don't believe they actually made one just like it in the US.
Hi, the repop one is a bit smaller, and the borders are not the same, it's easy to see the original and the repop difference
