Title: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: HowDueYouDue on August 25, 2013, 05:09:49 pm Came across this today. Double sided with the flange; pictured is the better side. Seller wants $1,500. Seemed high but figured I would ask the experts. Appreciate any and all help
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: cola62 on August 25, 2013, 08:04:11 pm really cool sign, for $1500 it would have to be in better condition. I would say around $500 at most. Like most collectibles condition is everything.

Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: HowDueYouDue on August 25, 2013, 08:41:07 pm Looked like it would clean up; not sure if porcelain or not. Owner had someone trying to sell it for him. Got the owners info to call and make an offer once I knew more about it.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: halehouse on August 25, 2013, 08:54:00 pm That's nice with the sign bracket and metal frame around it. I'm pretty sure those are porcelain and would clean up. I'm not sure on price, but I'd guess (big guess) $1,000 would be a good buy with the bracket and if the other side is in good shape. $1500 doesn't seem awful.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: sc1101 on August 25, 2013, 09:03:40 pm I would agree it would probably clean up good. The original bracket adds some good value, usually your lucky just to find the sign. I would say on Ebay it would sell for $800.00-1000.00. It would probably sell In a local antique store for $500.00. They don't have as good of a specific audience as Ebay which equals a lower sale price.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: Rebel on August 25, 2013, 09:26:21 pm Cool sign. I had that very Coke counter top dispenser stolen from me last year. Was in my Grand-Father's Drug store in east Tn. Still not over it,also got all the stainless syrup pumps that were at the fountain.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: halehouse on August 25, 2013, 09:36:24 pm I would snatch it up in a heartbeat for $500 as I'd be lucky to even see it in an antique store (at east around here), let alone at that price.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: cola62 on August 26, 2013, 06:23:25 am Just keep in mind they are showing the better side most likely the other side is in worse condition.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: MoonDawg on August 26, 2013, 07:43:19 am I agree it will clean up nice, the only way to hurt porcelin is with rocks or bb gun. Most of these signs I have seen have chunks missing.
Title: Re: Old Coke Fountain Flange Sign Post by: HowDueYouDue on August 26, 2013, 08:30:01 am I agree Hale. I was suprised to find this at my local flea market where the collective value of everything for sale is usually around $1,500. Cola, thanks for the reminder. The "seller" wasn't too keen on anyone touching it so I will have to look it over in full with the actual owner.
Thanks for the feedback everyone. |
