Found this 9.5" x 27.5" Coca Cola tin sign from the 1950s today. The condition is just fair, but I negotiated a $60 discount. I still think I may have paid too much. Oh well, I really like it.

Man, I've been stalking one of these on and off for quite awhile. I love this sign Jameyrd. It's hard to buy an old sign for less than 2 bills anymore, so I know what you mean. No matter, you've got a nice one there and I bet it looks killer on display.
Thanks Daddy, I paid $135. I first thought I made a mistake, but as you said once I hung it up my mind changed quick!
Yeah, I agree with Dave, think you did just fine Jameyrd. Dave is right, hard to find a decent sign for less than $200 nowadays. I think you got a fair discount too.
Thanks for the comments and love Perry!
Thanks to chevy59, officialfuel and trukn20!
It's a keeper for sure!! When you get the chance to upgrade it, I'm sure you'll get your money back. People are paying through the nose lately for signs.
True true Tommy, glad I'm not lookin for any right now,,,,,,,,RIGHT!
Thanks trukn20, bottle-bud and tommy1002 !
Thanks mikielikesigns2!
