Title: Coca cola park bench
Post by: iggybu on July 23, 2013, 08:39:01 pm
I found this nice coke fountain bench in silverton Colorado. I asked the guy if he wanted to sell it  :hopefull: ...he said $100 but his wife said NO to selling it since it was the best one they had that wasn't falling apart. Haha. I tried about 3 times offering more but she still wouldn't let it go.   :darn: Her husband found it in the city dump and it was in great shape! 

Also had the highest Harley store with a nice bench.

She should have taken the $.  $100 seems generous.
How high did you go?

$150. Was going to go to $200. She did have a point though. Silverton is not really a town close to the city...

Man Wal-Mart sold those about 8-10 years ago should have bought one I guess... people try and pass the inset back sign as vintage for $300+ on ebay
the wood was cheap and didn't hold up well outdoors... keep watching, heck watch ebay they're on there one will pop up and/or the metal parts to rebuild one.

I had one . They were very cheaply made. I gave mine away about six years ago when I moved. I think they sold new for $75.
