I found this 1932 Coca-Cola porcelain sign last week in Leroy, Illinois at a sale. The sign is in excellent shape. I talk to the owner after the sale and he said he found this years ago in Rolla, Missouri along Route 66. He told me he has had it for over 20 years and it was time to start thinning out his collection. The sign is 4' x 8' and was made by the Tenn. Enamel Mfg. Co. Nashville.

Michael, that's a beauty! This may surpass your all time high LOVE score. I'll be the first. I know you don't always divulge the price, but can you give me an idea of what you paid for this? Under $2,000?
Sweet sign, the condition is amazing!
Nice one Michael. I've been on the prowl for one for-ever, no luck yet. Great to see your success. I'm with TGBWC: Outstanding.

I had a collector always tell me "..... :)" Smart Buy & Nice Sign!!
Thank you Chevelleman69 for the love!
Michael
We're still not sure if this was a "smart buy." How much did you snag this beauty for? 2 grand...under 2 grand...over 2 grand....?
Ray, I posted what I paid right after you ask and then deleted it. I guess you didn't see the posting. Don't know who "we're still not sure if this was a smart buy is. All I know if I were to sell I could make some $$$$. Thanks for stopping by again! :-)
Michael
Thank you BELLIN68 for the love!

I missed it. Didn't realize there was a time limit to view and then delete. The "smart buy" was referencing MMMs comment. No worries.
I was present at the auction where it was purchased, BUT the buyer can let the cat out of the bag if he wishes.
AND don't hold your breath waiting for that to happen...

I recently sold my fountain service sign to a collector, and he asked me what I paid, I was kind of hesitant at first but he said seriously I won't get upset so I told him 450 he said that was amazing and he gladly paid 1250 for it. I am suffering from seller remorse though LOL.
Nice profit Trey! Now you can go picking for some more deals!
Michael
You know it I scored huge, I got my big coke sign, my Pontiac sign,pepsi cooler,gargoyle oil can, coke crate,texaco neon sign. It was a good turn around.
