  1. Love this sign, great snag fifties. I've long been on the lookout for one of this version. To obtain a vertical sign is just great luck on your part.
  2. Your sign has it all Perry! Sa-weeeeeet!
  3. Nice additions to your collection Bernie. Love the tray and the cups are cool too.
  4. I was lucky enough to snag one of your bottles, Snake. I have it sitting on an old Coca-Cola barrel next to t.v. set in my Coke Cave, so often have occasion to admire it. The 4 you're showing here ...
  5. The more I look at it, the more I think you're right about it being a cut off Jr. Ice, which has dimension LxW dimensions of 25 1/4" x 17 3/4". That appears to be closer to size of yours. I can send...
  6. Not a Westinghouse. TN as in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where Cavalier Corp. manufactured coolers for Coca-Cola. There was a 12" x 14" x 25" "Half Junior" produced for table top dispense. I'm thinkin...
  7. One just sold on eBay recently, something less than $400 (though yours looks to be in better shape). I tip my hat to you for displaying such a mammoth sign. Large and In Charge! http://www.e...
  8. I did find a repro, here's what it looks like: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1936-COCA-COLA-CHRISTMAS-BOTTLE-THEROMETER-REPRODUCTION-NEW-CONDITION-/111038274764?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19da659ccc&...
  9. Hi Michael, I usually do a little research before pulling the trigger on a sign. Make sure it's listed in Petretti's guide and look at previous auction results (eBay and liveauctioneers.com). It is...
  10. Thanks Perry! A good business back in those days, to be a sign maker for Coca-Cola. They really cranked 'em out. Tin signs, not so much anymore.
  11. Thanks Bernie. I received an e-mail from a viewer letting me know maker was W.F. Robertson out of Springfield, Ohio. I have several other old, authentic Coca-Cola signs by Robertson. Can always ...
  12. Well done, looks super!
  13. A pair in mint condition sold on eBay earlier today for $67. http://www.ebay.com/itm/140950872001?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
  14. Yeah, that's going to turn out to look fantastic.
  15. Sweet Bottle, cckid!
  16. 4 bills.
  17. This one doesn't look nearly as nice as yours and it's up to 3 bills. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CLASSIC-DRINK-COCA-COLA-BUTTON-SIGN-PORCELAIN-METAL36-VINTAGE-ANTIQUE-PICKUP-/390573444404?pt=LH_Defaul...
  18. That's a beauty Michael. The large buttons go for good prices on eBay as well. I have two 24-inchers of this version, and one just doesn't see them come up much anymore... especially in this conditi...
  19. Hey Perry, I know I'm doing good when I can get a Holy Cow out of the likes of you. Thanks Brutha!
  20. I don't worry too much about condition. If the sign has "it", it has "it". These have "it", retro. Nice signs.
  21. Great add to the collection Bernie. The game room just keeps getting better and better and better.
  22. What a sweet snag! Well done Bernie. Incredible deal.
  23. Thanks Bernie and Tommy! Hey Bernie, I'm not an ad guy, but the '06 horse and carriage ad was a throw in, so was happy to take it. My rough old sign is already gone. A sign swap was included in thi...
  24. Thanks for stopping by to visit Michael.
  25. It's cool to see a sign like this in the original form. Almost always because of size/difficulty of display and value of the individual elements, they are taken apart and pieced out. Though I haven'...
  26. Early 60's, yep. A similar U.S. version sign books for $200 in near mint condition. Condition is very important to value, even more so with circa 60's signs and newer. Any little stain, rip, scratch...
  27. Thanks Signaholic and spriteboy. This piece was "sweetener" added to the author deal a few weeks back. I'm going to post the other items, including an upgrade to my 45.5" 30's sign, and repost the r...
  28. The piece of plastic was inserted with the back side facing forward, just needs to be taken out, flipped, then reinserted and the can will look correct.
  29. Thanks Bernie!
  30. Thanks Tom and walksoftly and everyone for stopping by to visit.
  31. Sehr Gut, Herr Fünfzigs!
  32. Look like an authentic piece to me. 16" should be? Assuming so, in this condition, they can go for $200+ on the eBay. Plenty of button collectors out there. You brought back a nice tourist trinket...
  33. This looks like it could be same thing: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COCA-COLA-VINTAGE-GIANT-MAGNUM-BOTTLE-ITALY-ONLY-RELEASE-/261190347757?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cd0286bed
  34. Great blotter Perry. And not one often seen (had to look it up). I've learned a little about these old pieces of paper. I agree, small billboards, works of art, you're right on target. You picked...
  35. I don't think they made Hutch bottles this size 100 years ago. More likely, this is one size in a series of commemorative display bottles manufactured during the 1990's-2000's. Here's an example of ...
  36. Now that's what I call a real sweet piece! Great Pick right there, Bernie. And you found a great spot for it, looks right at home under that window.
  37. The name is "Toy Fountain Dispenser". Descriptive! :) I have images of an original ad and the box. If you'd like copies, send me an e-mail at daveq@wowway.com and I'll respond with attachments.
  38. Uh... We all have rooms, TGBWC. Coca-Cola Rooms. Duh.
  39. Glad you finally know "The Truth About Coca-Cola", Perry! I've long been on the look out for an opportunity to return YOUR generosity over a year ago when you sent me a bottle shaped tour booklet. ...
  40. Another fab piece of paper, TGBWC. The hits just keep coming. And coming. Let me know if you ever open up a museum. Would be a good fit with the other local attractions.
  41. One of my fav thermos. A real beaut!
  42. I'm not an expert by any stretch. But I do have some experience. Here's the way I look at it. An old, original item is always authentic. A fake is an item manufactured or altered to look orig...
  43. c. 1990 http://www.ebay.com/itm/COCA-COLA-1908-CALENDAR-LADY-OVEL-METAL-TRAY-/7203544292
  44. This guy wiped too hard... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coca-Cola-Tin-Sign-/400435448760?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d3bd00bb8
  45. Looks Great, fifties!
  46. This is a 1908 image used on calendars and paper signs, there was no tray manufactured at that time which depicted the "Good to the Last Drop" lady in red. So this is a contemporary piece with a repr...
  47. I will add this is a thin gauge sign with embossed lettering. I have same version 1940. The paint seems less stable than my other tin signs because of the easy flex and stamped nature of the letteri...
  48. ...and not an easy one to find in such good condition at a decent price. I've been on the prowl for one of these for quite some time with no luck. Nice score 42. Top Shelf!
  49. Hey Tom, That sign looks like it was meant to hang right there. I love this version, 1940-41, right? Condition is just fine, displays real nice. Congrats on a real beauty.
  50. Yeah those are going to be sweet in your game room Bernie. Will give it a whole new dimension. Looking forward to seeing the final product pics. Looking good!
