Nice condition. Currently using it as end table. Wondered what value is now? And value if I restored it? -and any recomendations on who to use for restoration? (or is better to just keep in orig condition) thanks in advance. Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: Creighton on August 11, 2011, 08:14:57 pm Hello,
Apologies you have not received a response. Great cooler!! I would leave as is. Hope someone that knows values will chime in. Creighton Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: cokecolaman on August 11, 2011, 08:23:34 pm I don't know the value, but I would pay about $500- $550 for it...and I would keep it original also.
Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: Coke_Atlanta on August 12, 2011, 01:18:56 pm Only thing I've found so far is the Petretti's coca cola collectable price guide. It listed it for 1500.00 in 1997. But was hoping for a more current value.
They may have gone up or down in last 14 years. Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: Kilroy on August 12, 2011, 01:45:10 pm Price guides are a useful tool, but I've never found one that was dead on accurate to market conditions or real world pricing.
Not to disillusion you, but yeah, the market has gone down, every collectable market has. There are still bright spots, and if you are in Atlanta, you have access to more Coke collectors in the market. Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: Eric on August 12, 2011, 02:26:20 pm With the economy and repros out there I don't think you'd see $1500... Nice original.. I'd leave as is. great little survivor especially at its age.
Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: oscar on August 12, 2011, 03:46:47 pm I've found price guides to be about 2 times what you can actually get. Sometimes even more than that. The $1500 price is for the highest priced Glascock sold that was reported to the author when the book was being put together.

Post by: Eric on August 14, 2011, 08:38:42 am At that price he may “beholding” for a while... :oops:
Would be one to watch to see if it gets takers... though I think they should have started around $500.. Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: Coke_Atlanta on August 14, 2011, 08:57:41 am wow.
i wish he started lower.. even with a super high reserve. would have been interesting to watch. somehow i think that listing will just expire as is. -but what do i know. Title: Re: Glascock JR value? Post by: Kilroy on August 14, 2011, 09:37:15 am i think you're not giving yourself enough credit for your smarts.
The seller had the glass cock posted before. No takers. Gee for $5999.00. This was easy enough to track, Click on the "other items for sale link , then look for the completed listings option. |
