I'd like to get a 1950's 4 foot coke button sign. The one that sais "Drink Coca Cola in Bottles." I see them on ebay and occasionally other places but not really sure what a fair price for one is? I see them from anywhere from $300-800 in descent shape with minor rust and original paint. What would be a fair price for one? Thanks

I think you answered your own question?

Sorry what I meant was asking prices vary within that range however, I haven't seen many sell for that. What I'm wondering is, is that because the price is too high?

       The prices may be reasonable but the reason they don't sell is because of size. The 48" button is too large to display in the house, that's why the 24" and 16" are getting the most bids.

I have a 36" button and it is pretty big.  A couple years back, I had the opportunity to get a 48" button for $275--it was the one with Coca Cola and the bottle on it.  It was in good shape with some cratches but no bad rust so it was a great deal.  At the time I was driving a Dodge Magnum and I couldn't get the button into the car!  Not even through the back hatch.  The guy ended up selling it to someone else.  I'm still looking though!

The shear size of the 48" one is what I think makes it so cool, lately all I've seen is restored ones and personally I'd rather have one that's unrestored that's got that vintage look to it.
