Title: coke button
Post by: jbrooks on June 16, 2010, 09:57:08 pm
Hey guys, once again need some advice.  Do you think this is a good price for a 36" Coke button in the condition pictured?  Is it a repro?

As always thanks for the help

I don't think the 36" button was reproduced.  I would start at $50 and see where it goes!

They did not repop them in metal. I have seen someone making them in fiberglass. so as long as they are metal they should be original.

All repro's I've seen have the bottle.. and fade in a matter of weeks in the sun... that's the real deal
good barn hanger or candidate for restoration....

thanks for the feedback.  they emailed me back and said they have it on ebay for a buy it now price of $100 but would sell it for $75 through craigslist so i doubt they will take less.  I am thinking $75 or anything below it is a good price though.  these seem like an easy restoration...am I wrong?
