I have a lead on this 4' Coke button. As you can see in the pic is the plain one. I was told it has been indoors for the past 35 years. It is original with just a little paint fading, no rust. I know the size turns some people off but I like the fact that it is large. What do you guys think the value of this sign is? Thanks for any advice.

I like the bigger signs, but I wouldn't do more than $300

Picked up the Coke button and I am loving it. I drove about half an hour to get it and found out it was from a corner store 1 mile from my house. It hung there from its birth to 35 years ago and then lived indoors as a decoration since. It isnt perfect but it is nice for an original

I agree, I love the fact that I brought it back to where it was in use all those years

It's Sweet! good find, Do you remember seeing it when you was growing up? Also, personally I like the plain ones without the coke bottle on them, they have a cleaner look to them

This one is about a 36"-er that is in what I would consider to be immaculate condition. It is an original one from what I can tell. Even has the mounting bracket with it. Up for auction on the 14th if anyone is interested.

If only I could find a 4 footer. Great find! Congrats! If you ever have the desire to sell, let me know. If you ever want to make it look shiny again, have it sprayed with a quality clear coat paint.
