I would agree on the Nehi and 7up. My hunch-o-meter tells me that the border of that Chevroloet sign looks too evenly worn around the edges and corners, as if someone went around it to give it that "distressed" look. I am not sure about the Hires bottle.

Josh, I've got to go with the majority on this one,The
the first three look like repop's that Hire's can't tell.
So what's the story on these signs are they for your
apartment over there ??

Thickness of the steel is usually a dead giveaway. The real signs were made to last ..........even outdoors.

They were ebay signs. I didn't really care if they were real as they were for my apartment here but I decided to pass. I am going to wait untill I get home for christmas and get erics signs. His are so much nicer than everone elses.

I have really been thinking about that. We are shipping a few pallets of supplies here for the business. I was wondering of I could strap a V81 to one of the pallets also. I bet the customs charge would be crazy.
I want some signs to help make my apartment feel more like home. I am bringing my telechron Coke button clock and possibly a few of Erics signs and I am looking to buy some cheep signs. Also Thailand is known for its artwork. They do extremely high quality painings for very cheep. I am going to have a few of the pld Coke cardboard signs painted in oil. I think it would look cool.

Look close at those signs most are 4 color process... which will
be tiny little dots and have a mat finish... Our sign are screened in layers
like the originals cost more.... but I want them to be as close to original
as we can... those all look like repros....
Thanks for the kind words Josh... We have the Pause Drink in the works now... hope to get it out before Christmas..... It'll be around 17.5 X 32
embossed 032 guage aluminum....

The 7up signs like that were made by the Stout sign co. If it is real it will have a date in the bottom corner. I do believe that the Hirs is the real deal.
