This style has been reproduced Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Chedki on June 02, 2011, 04:37:54 pm http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-STYLE-ROYAL-CROWN-COLA-RC-SODA-STOUT-FLANGE-SIGN-/200611593896?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb561fea8 (http://cgi.ebay.com/OLD-STYLE-ROYAL-CROWN-COLA-RC-SODA-STOUT-FLANGE-SIGN-/200611593896?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2eb561fea8)
This style for Royal Crown Cola has been reproduced. Original ones has the Nehi star in a smaller size than the ones found on repros. Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Eric on June 02, 2011, 05:36:01 pm Yes.. the Coke with the fish tail (kinda square), the Coke with the 40s bottle w/ “lattice work” and yellow circle behind bottle, the Coke button at top with bottle and arrow type bottom, these are all dated, then there's
two versions of the the 7up, one with the hand/arm is dated, Nugrape, Orange Crush, Royal Crown, Suncrest, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi -Kenny Seah (spelling) did a ton of them in the early 90s all were dated and made by Stout Sign company here in Missouri... there is also a guy on ebay right now doing them (not licensed) He did a Nichol Kola one but he screwed up the “5” and I just can't get past that... it looks so bad to me but his quality looks awesome. Post the one you're looking at... I bet I would know.... Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: oscar on June 02, 2011, 05:47:33 pm It's a Mission Orange
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Eric on June 02, 2011, 08:05:12 pm Hhhmmm I don't know of anyone that has that license... does it look like a bottle cap?... can the owner/seller
tell you if there are any markings... the non-license guy doesn't put anything on his... Kenny Seah and Stout dated and numbered theirs... the three we made are all dated. (2 cokes and the 7up w/arm) Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: oscar on June 03, 2011, 08:21:47 am This is a picture of it.
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Eric on June 03, 2011, 10:23:42 am Never seen that one... can you see /read the small text along the bottom...
That die has been around I think 7up used way back in the 50s but also know that someone is using that die shape and cranking out Pepsi Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Eric on June 03, 2011, 10:29:54 am Here's a real one from ebay now...
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: johnieG on June 03, 2011, 11:44:55 am Repro's are easier to spot in person because of the thinner/lighter sheet-metal they use.
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: ciawarrior on June 03, 2011, 08:11:58 pm looks like this guy has all kinds of re-pros...... http://www.pickin4cash.com/
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: johnieG on June 03, 2011, 08:16:31 pm I really like that 3-D Shell sign!
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Eric on June 03, 2011, 09:26:51 pm Yes.. this is the guy I spoke with .. I warned him about making signs with no license.. he has no license that I know of for any of these brands.... I told him brands like Triple A Root Beer, Nichol Kola, brands that are now considered public domain are alright to make... but signs for Pepsi and Coke with no license is serious...
He ask for a sample of a Nichol Kola sign which he made but used a different number “5” which is WAY off... I cannot bring myself to buy it.. It would be like changing the Coke logo... Anyway as you can see he does make awesome quality stuff.. but when it all catches up with him...WOW Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Gumbo on June 06, 2011, 09:30:30 pm I don't like anything repopped. I feel it hurts the market for orignal stuff.
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: oscar on June 07, 2011, 09:58:00 am I agree.
Title: Re: Flange signs Post by: Kilroy on June 07, 2011, 10:26:36 am If money was no object, i'd go for the original. But a nicely crafted repop is easier on my wallet. The issue is an issue when fakes are passed off as the real thing.
