Yes.. the Coke with the fish tail (kinda square), the Coke with the 40s bottle w/ “lattice work” and yellow circle behind bottle, the Coke button at top with bottle and arrow type bottom, these are all dated, then there's
two versions of the the 7up, one with the hand/arm is dated, Nugrape, Orange Crush, Royal Crown, Suncrest,
Dr. Pepper, Pepsi -Kenny Seah (spelling) did a ton of them in the early 90s all were dated and made by Stout
Sign company here in Missouri... there is also a guy on ebay right now doing them (not licensed) He did a
Nichol Kola one but he screwed up the “5” and I just can't get past that... it looks so bad to me but his
quality looks awesome.
Post the one you're looking at... I bet I would know....

Hhhmmm I don't know of anyone that has that license... does it look like a bottle cap?... can the owner/seller
tell you if there are any markings... the non-license guy doesn't put anything on his... Kenny Seah and Stout
dated and numbered theirs... the three we made are all dated. (2 cokes and the 7up w/arm)

Never seen that one... can you see /read the small text along the bottom...
That die has been around I think 7up used way back in the 50s but also know that someone is
using that die shape and cranking out Pepsi

Repro's are easier to spot in person because of the thinner/lighter sheet-metal they use.

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Yes.. this is the guy I spoke with .. I warned him about making signs with no license.. he has no license that I know of for any of these brands.... I told him brands like Triple A Root Beer, Nichol Kola, brands that are now considered public domain are alright to make... but signs for Pepsi and Coke with no license is serious...
He ask for a sample of a Nichol Kola sign which he made but used a different number “5” which is WAY off...
I cannot bring myself to buy it.. It would be like changing the Coke logo...
Anyway as you can see he does make awesome quality stuff.. but when it all catches up with him...WOW

I don't like anything repopped. I feel it hurts the market for orignal stuff.

If money was no object, i'd go for the original. But a nicely crafted repop is easier on my wallet. The issue is an issue when fakes are passed off as the real thing.
