I have a chance at this sign.. so no actual pic, but from description sounds like excellent condition... Petretti lists for 625 as you can see. lady is asking 250.. good buy???

condition is everything.. one persons "excellent condition" is another persons Poor condition..
you gotta see it in person or at least a photo be sure..

well this lady is not a coke collector but she said no rust, very minimal scratches, no fade. very very nice. let me know if i should jump.. also i am seeing it in person so i can always back out

Like John said, condition is everything. If it isn't rusty, has good color and has minimal scratches/dents/gunshots I would offer $200 or there abouts and jump on it!

My 2 cents!  :biggrin:

It's a porcelain sign, and yes for really nice near perfect they where bringing the 600 range a few years back.

Its not my favorite sign of that era but for 250 you are doing ok on it.. (if it's nice).

Good luck!

okay thanks, and im 17 y/o.. if i sit on this for 20 years... .. if you get my drift

I wish I was collecting coke signs when I was 17.... Just Mens Magazines..

Seriously! The only thing I was collecting at 17 was boogers & scabs........Or was that 7? :biggrin:

got it. 200

I like it and would have paid $200.00 for it... Well done..

Looks good!.. that is a good deal..
wow 17,, how did you get hooked in that early, when I was 17  I was loading Coke Trucks at my Grandfathers Bottling plant..
never thought I'd collect the stuff.
Congrats!

Did your Dad collect when you were growing up? I am 28 myself and started restoring machines when I was 20. I grew up doing this with my dad so it is in my blood. jnapp18 where are you located?

No, he did not really, he kept a few things aroudn the house, but not a collector by any means.. wish he was, as my father was the one who threw away most of the "old Stuff" out of the plant when new Coke Advertising campaigns would come around, He recalls in the 60's haveing to go through the plant with his cousins to "Clean Out" the advertising room, to make room for the new stuff... he recalls taking quote a bit of stuff, old signs that you had to bend and break so they could not be used any longer and then brought them to the dump, along with machines and tons of old bottles. oh well,, what do you do..

nope.. my dad could care less about coca-cola. this message is going to be much longer than i planned.. I was always interested in coca-cola thing, I was volunteering at a sale where i saw a basket of coca-cola things. I bought it, only later to find out it was all repo. this is what started everything.. then i visited my uncle in kentucky and got to see his vendo 81. i got more and more interested and finally started a collection myself.
im located in Rochester NY.
