Post by: SIGNGUY on October 16, 2014, 02:36:57 pm
Found this machine near me.. machine isn't much but wondering what the signs might be worth.. I have not run across these.. I know Coke ones like 3 feet are about 300-350 each? any idea on Hires???
I know not a great photo but what do you all think?

The auction sign that sold was a flat stock sign, yours appear to be dimensional? (3-D/convex) if so, maybe worth more $$$  to the right buyer, I just noticed shadow line at the bottom of the sign on your machine, or maybe it's just not secured along the bottom edge.. also assuming it's not a repro' sign.

the smaller die cut bottle thermometers go for around $200+ on ebay... I think someone is making flat die cut bottle signs
that are cheap (and probably not licensed)... I would think it's a $250-300 sign maybe more if in good shape... Be sweet if there was another on the other side.

good luck
