Hit a few garage sales on the weekend, found these two push bars, both made by P & M (Porcelain & Metal Products Orillia, ON), the Coke push bar also has, made in Canada 1958 (?) the last two digits are hard to make out (smudged)
I have no idea if I paid to much, or got a deal, it's the first Coke item or sign item that I've bought.

Both these push bars are very common in Ontario, its hard to tell you if you got a good deal or if you paid to much with no idea of what you paid. if you got them both under 300$ you did fine.
Paid $40 for both.
Great signs and a super price ! Love them !!
Thanks for the L's, official, coke.trevor, kerry, & Mani.
I was pretty sure I got them for a good price, that's why I ran to the car, yelling at my wife " start the car, start the car". :)
Did you dive in through the open car window as she was peeling out?!?! :)
Great door push bars, those are sweet. And that was an incredible price. Nice snag!
Damn right I did! Thanks for the comment, Daddy_Nobucks.
can't beat a great deal on a great weekend!!!
WOW!!! 40$ each would have been a great deal, but getting both in these conditions for only 40$ is almost unheard of now in days, SWEEEEEEET DEAL!!!!!!
How are you gonna sleep tonight?? LOL LOL
That was a"Steal of a Deal", gotta start hitten them garage sales also! Nice buy!!
My wife has been going to garage sales for years, but this was the first time that I went to more than one in a day. I think I'll be going again!
Thanks for all the comments & the L's, tommy1002, coke.t.c, EJW-54 & pickrknows.
"Walk softly and carry off two big push bars."
Nice picks!
Thanks TGBWC for the comment, sometimes it's best to quietly walk away without setting off any alarms.
Thanks for the love, pemberton1886.
Thanks for stopping by & showing some love, spriteboy, Chevelleman69, mtg75, & trukn20.
Thanks for the Love, leighannrn, Bellin, & mikielikesigns.
INCREDIBLE price, Walksoftly. I sold a coke push bar in my store last month, identical to the one you have, for $350.00. The one I sold had never been on used so the main part of the bar was pristine, but it did have some porcelain chips in the area of the screw-holes. Very good find on your part. Congrats!
Thanks for the L's, jameyrd & scott.
Thanks for checking out my post, Lori, its nice to know I scored such a good deal on my first Coke purchase. What do you think a conservative # would be for the Salada Tea bar? A Five Roses Flour Bar sold for $100 yesterday at the Auction, with some damage.
First off, AWESOME BUY!
I have seen the Salada Tea push bar before. Noramally they are priced for about $150-$175, but the only ones I have seen SELL, sell for about $125-$130.

Thanks for the L's, mikielikesigns, antiquesareamazing, ttomtucker, cocaguy_canada & bratjdd .
@gargoyle, It's not me that's having the sleepless nights, It's the poor guy that sold it to me.
Thanks for the loving these.
