Title: Neat coke sign
Post by: scalebowler on July 18, 2010, 08:16:06 pm
I found this sign while browsing craigslist. From what the seller told me over the phone is that it lights up and has one of those polarized things in it and makes it look like the cup is being filled up with coke. I know it is a newer sign but I am going to buy it just because I think it sounds really neat. I am going to stop by tomorrow and take a look at it. Any of you guys ever seen one of these? Also where were these used at? Looks like something that would be at a gas station or some kind of snack bar or a resturant.

I have one. I bought it at a Coke Collectors convention last September.
Mine has a different picture. Made to look like a guy ice climbing. Or climbing
a cliff as the motion is in the "waterfall" of Coke being poured. A nuce piece.

Where did they use signs like this? Just wondering.

I got the sign and from the looks of it I think it was never used. Not sure where it came from but it looks like the person collected small stuff like that. She also had a box full of those inflatable things like blimps and racecars like you see in the beer area at the grocery store. I found a inflatable lear jet that is advertising bottled water.

Here is a video of it working. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqlHnu-zfZE

That is pretty cool. The video really helps.

Thanks! Now I'm trying to figure out where it might have been used at. I don't think that it had ever been used because it is in perfect shape but I just want to know where signs like this might have been used.
