Looks pretty cool, but kind of strange that is doesn't have a brand on it!

Haha, help me out here, what would be considered "reasonable?"  If it's worth $5, I don't want to pay $20, but if it's worth $500, I might pay $100 for it.

I think it's worth $75, but I'm just guessing...I would give a little more just because I have never seen one before.

My initial thought is that it is new. It looks like something retro that you would buy at a place like World Market and for some reason has some rust on the bottom. I don't see a cord either, I bet it is battery operated. Can you check on that? I'm gonna say $5 to hang in the garage.

I'm thinking  new  also. No slit or trough for the  power cord, no brand name,  hands seem out of place.

Nice piece as long as you know  it's new and not paying more than $30.

My vote is a new fantasy piece.. like the others said no area for a cord to come through and
main flag “No Brand” ... example... there are little six pack Sunny Cola? or something like that out there now with
paper label bottles and rusty carriers and some signs for this same fantasy brand with rust that
are brand new imported stuff...
Though cool looking I'd pass unless you really like it and it's around $25 or less.. just too much
stuff still out there you can find and get for a good price.

looks like it was made from a coke, pepsi ..etc cap, probably one in rough shape, so they did a repair job
 I agree $25 or less
