Title: Local sign possibly going up for sale
Post by: Kaleid20 on May 25, 2012, 09:30:26 am
Guys,

Iconic cafe in Houston is remodeling and word on the streets is that the sign is probably going. What would you guesstimate the price on this? Neon sign, double sided.

Great sign,
the market would be limited due to the size of the sign but to the right buyer who knows what they would be willing to pay.  I would think at a minimum it would go for $2500 or more depending on condition.  It looks like it is from the 50's.

Looks like a real good sign, but hiring a crane just to get it down is real expensive.

I would pay to get it. They just don't make these anymore. I have a few old cubs signs similiar to this.

I would say easy $3000, a neon coke sign is very hard to come by.

Great looking sign, love the top part, the Coke part is a little square and boxy for me but still very nice.
