After viewing the yawning chasm left from deleted posts, I thought CW's Coke page could use some new "filler content"... And Nobucks is always happy to oblige. Here's a '54 tin job by Allen-Morrison Sign Co, Lynchburg, VA. Snagged off a "BIN or Make an Offer" eBay deal. Once in awhile I'll see a piece and know right away where I'll hang it. This was one of those times. I think the decor around Command Central is complete (for now!). A little rough around the edges, I'm still happy to add one of these hard to find signs to my collection.

** Six-er sign is NOT for Sale!!!! Really!!! Truly!!! I'm not kidding!!! Do Not Delete!!!!! I don't own a store!!!! ;)**

These are such cool signs Dave, nice buy!! Fits perfect there!
Thanks Trev, Thanks Bernie, that means a lot coming from you guys with the caliber of your collections. You do a great job with placement and display. I pay attention and learn a lot. "Borrow" many ideas from you all!
Thanks Mike for stopping by to view. Your and Signaholic's six pack signs inspired me! Great looking classics.
Wooohoooo, great find Dave! Oh you gotta'em much more crowded up than that my friend,put that puzzle together. ;)
Thanks Perry! I know, that's what scares me, so much wall space down here. Heaven help me! :)
Thanks Daddy_Nobucks for clearing that up ! lol. I wouldn't want you getting caught up in the madness.... I also noticed that you did not need an appraisal ! It's posters like you that keep this sight the way it should be. Thanks for sharing, ThriftyGypsy
Hey TG, thanks for your comments. We had some fun the other day, didn't we. It's all good. I checked out your collection recently, very cool, quality pieces. Hope you have a great weekend.
Hey Daddy_Nobucks, You are most welcome !!!! We did have fun, but I also hope we made a point . People like you and others of us on here are what this site is about. I love coming on here and looking at everyones stuff, which is mostly things we enjoy and cherish. I have already seen a " Tell me about my item and what its worth" ! No introduction, background, etc. I think C.W. should have a class you have to take before you can post an item !!LOL!!. I am going to try and refrain from some of my comments, but some posters will here from me from time to time...haha. Glad you liked my collection, sometimes I think I am ADD because I am all over the place. I usually collect something when it catches my eye ! I do collect certain things like knives, watches, pens, but they are usually a little newer. I also enjoy your collection, It is awesome ! Sorry for talking so much, must be this 3rd cup of coffee ! You have a great weekend to! Talk to you later, ThriftyGypsy
Mighty fine sixer, Dave. I don't want to push ya into spending more, but the tweleve would look great up there next to it!!!
Thanks Tom. Yikes, those twelve pack signs are like $100-150 a bottle!!!!! But you know... one would look awfully nice over there... now that you mention it... ;)
If we can find a decent one, I'll split it with ya. We can do a time-share thing, heck if we get a few more to buy in we could do a roving collection, lol!!
Here ya go Tommy! We can buy it and split time like a condo in Florida. Hold on, I think we need more investors. Any others in The Eight Pack interested? Lemme see... 3300 divided by 8... $412.50 each... 12 months divided by 8 guys... 6 wks per investor... hmmmm...

Holy Mackerel!!!!! That is a mighty fine example, I wonder if he'll take installment payments?? Since you are the BIN_Q Master, I'll let you do the deal, LOL!!
