  1. I think it's a fantasy item, original polly gas items are so rare to find it's nearly impossible to find them and for a few months there are a tons of fantasy and reproduction items everywhere
  2. nice poster, the best way to keep it is to frame it but sadly it's missing the right side
  3. Hi, it's a lucky weekend, I have some wanting ads on different selling websites telling I'm always looking for coca cola items from 1920's to 1969 and I got a phone call on thursday from a collector w...
  4. Thanks, hood ornaments can take muchplace, for now I display them on some shelves and in showcases, I have now 28 hood ornaments and they take a lot of place but they are so cool here are some pict...
  5. Hi George, be careful I think the watch is a fake, an old watch with a new coca cola decal on it
  6. nice, those signs are quite rare to find, a good catch
  7. thanks, yes it's around 75 $ I'm sure it's my best buy of the year and a great bargain for me, it's more and more difficult to find good items in shows and in antique market with the actual financial ...
  8. wow thanks, I paid 25 $ for it, a good score for today
  9. really nice one
  10. nice one and quite rare, not easy to find
  11. wow really rare and neat item, great find
  12. I'm pretty sure it's Repro, originals were never made into cast iron but some paper mache and are really rare, those were produced recently and made to look old, there is a large market around pakista...
  13. "patina" if the sign is porcelain I called that dirt, I always clean all my porcelain sign, It's better and all shiny, for me I used CIF Cream, porcelain sign are really great and you can't damage the...
  14. if original color cas light green, it was for sure Dr pepper : http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/american-roadtrip/day5/27.jpg
  15. nice one, is it porcelain or painted sign ? if it's porcelain those rust stain could be easily cleaned by the way that thing must weight a ton !
  16. Thanks for all the love and comments, it took me many hours but it was worth it
  17. nice job, I really love to have the same machine, but they are always priced really high, nice job on the restoration
  18. thanks and it was in box filled with car parts with many hubcaps from old citroën or opel from the 1960's, I got it for 10 € which made my day, I was really happy to have found it for this price, that...
  19. After the world war II there was many american base here in Belgium in Wallonia, near the Ardennes and many americans military and their family came here to live while working the base so it's not rar...
  20. nice machines, I never seen the first one before I have the mills vendor on your second picture, it's a fantastic machine and fun to use
  21. ahaha good one, it's easier for me to find german items as I live near the frontier of germany, they had a large production of coca cola items produced in germany even in the war period
  22. I never seen this sign before, it's a shame but most english signs are not listed in books. for the one on ebay I think it's the larger model produced in USA
  23. wow it's so great and creepy at the same time, I really love it, nice one
  24. nice one, my dad has a collection of around 55 figurines of those by the way it's not "butain" but Britain, the brand still exist today and you can still find those great figures in toys store in eng...
  25. the sign is completly baked by the sun and all faded, I wouldn't buy that for 10 $
  26. I think they made them some years ago ( 2010 ) to customise old cash register but not sure about that, it could be original
  27. I would say it's worthless, real collectibles for collectors are pre-1970's
  28. Thanks, I look for trucks and I find similar ones in studebaker trucks and in austin trucks but still didn't find the exact same one
  29. that's a new sign from 1980-1990's officially produced by the coca cola company to be sold as decorative piece, no real value for collector for the value, 15 to 30 $ as a new item
  30. nice one, I missed one last year at a show, I hope to find one someday
  31. thanks for all the comments, for the pepsi poster I thought that was a good way to confronts coke fans vs pepsi fans but why all the hates for pepsi ? ( lol ) by the way I see several people here ...
  32. thanks for all the love and comments schallerpen, sonora made the design of their radios to look like the grills of old cars from the 1940's, that's why most colelctors wants so much thoses radios

  34. thanks, if you're looking for one watch sometimes on ebay germany as the sign is german, but it's not really a common one to find
  35. I think it's the original paint but could be great to restore, you can easily find every parts for restoration, just look on website like http://www.cowboysandkidillacs.com/garton_kidillac.html if you...
  36. nice pedal car, it's a kidillac, a great pedal to start a collection, nice catch
  37. Thanks you all for all the love and comments, I'm really happy with the result
  38. you can restore porcelain sign but not tin sign so damaged
  39. original for sure, but impossible to restore a tin sign, in my opinion this sign is dead, most of the graphics are gone
  40. nice one, but if I was you I won't touch it, it looks great as it is
  41. I think it's the side of a pepsi cola cooler made by bevco : http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=846&Itemid=14
  42. nice sign, great to start a collection
  43. I would say that it came from and english ford, maybe a consul, zephyr or zodiac, I found a similar one on a 1953 ford zephyr, the base is a bit different than yours and the wings are shorter but it l...
  44. nice one
  45. "gueuze" and "kriek" are the kind of beer, gueuze is a lambic beer and the kriek is a beer made with cherries framboise, cassis and peche are for the different tastes, raspberry, blackcurrant and p...
