I found a few signs and was wondering of these were a good find or not. The one side of the flange sign is nice but the other side isn't very good. The big fishtail sign is in good shape. It has some scratches but its nice. The Dr Pepper is flawless but it has been repainted by a sign painter. What are these worth? I like the flange and the fishtail but I don't know what to offer and what my maximum should be. Any thoughts?

Like the Dr Pepper one! I have seen that flange sell before for over $200. Have never seen the Coke fishtail sign. I say if the price is right, get them.

        The Large Fish Tail Sells Between $150+300 It Looks Nice Some Are Porcelain . I'd Pass on the Flang Sign It's Pretty Rough There Are Better ones out there . This Sign has Also been Reproduced .Also If You Like the Dp sign and it's priced Right . But I have NEVER seen a repainted sign (Un-less Really Really Rare ) Bring back a return on $ .

                      Just My 2 Cents

         I agree with LT...the flange sign has been reproduced so..... you get it re-painted
and sell it for the same $75.00?............................... I think not!
         The first sign is also porcelin, it's called a sled sign, but is rather big and un-embossed
and hard to display in a room so not a big demand for collectors.
         Dr Pepper sign looks nice, but if it has been repainted it's in the same class as the flange sign. Purchase with caution Josh, as you may end up owning them for quite a while.

Chiming in late, but agree with previous posts.. the most valuable one is the Coke Fishtail Sled sign as it is most likely Porcelain.. again condition ,condition condition.. Perfect condition, that sign is worth 450+, much less when you have chips, dents etc.. plus the size limits it's value.. offer 150 for it. Others pass unless you can get them for under 25.00 each for wall hangers.

Thats a good price, was is porcelain?

Before soda machine collecting ,all I did was advertising signs, Hence the name Signguy.. but haven't done much in that for some time now..

I used to have a large inventory of signs, many New Old Stock that I bought from a wharehouse sale from a closed plant.

anyway,, I was getting 450-500 for mint New Old Stock Sled signs like these.. but prices have come down, just as in soda machines... Just the times I guess.. I haven't bought a sign for over 3 years now..but of course haven't found much that I like..

I agree on the DP sign. My initial thought was that the repaint job is not a very good one. It looks rough. Pass.

Does the fishtail dimensional sign have cuts in the middle at the top and bottom?
