Calling all Coke aficionados!
When I was a kid in 1967, I removed these signs from a junked soda fountain dispenser because I thought they were pretty cool. I've been trying to find out how old they are and how much they are worth to a collector. No dates or markings other than in small print "Trade Mark Reg." in the letter "C" on the Coke, and "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. Made in U.S.A." on Hires.
The machines they were removed from were very old back then, but I don't know how old?? The coke sign measures 3.25 X 6.5 inches and the Hires one is 6 X 7.75 inches.
Anybody have any ideas?? Would be much obliged.
Coca Cola SignsFew brands have been as effectively and aggressively marketed as Coca-Cola,…
Soda Signs (non Coca-Cola)Coca-Cola may have invented modern advertising as we know it, but that does…
The Coca-Cola plate was removed from a 1930s dispenser. And I've seen these plates alone sell for around $75.00...especially if someone needs one to restore a dispenser.
Thanks for the info.
Anybody know about the Hires sign?
