Title: Counter top coke sign... Post by: mrbelvedere2 on June 23, 2014, 08:35:43 pm Hey guys I have this counter top coke sign, all glass with a waterfall that moves. I have only been able to see a couple others, what I can gather is it is a "price brothers" sign, and the white strip it is supposed to say "serve yourself" or "please pay cashier". This one you can see the paint rubbed off. You guys have any more info on these signs? Value as well? Thanks.

Have to create an account, which I believe is free, to login and see price Title: Re: Counter top coke sign... Post by: pinballdude on June 23, 2014, 10:19:58 pm Petretti's guide says that these were made in many different versions with the clock versions most common. Yours is pictured with "serve yourself" or "please pay when served" The phrase "Have A Coke" is also pictured. Yours was valued @ $1800 in mint condition...in 2008. I'd get a vinyl sign made for the bottom strip that has rubbed off.

I agree to get the bottom glass fixed and a vinyl decal done, seems strange that it would have rubbed off over time? Someone must have tried to clean it a little aggressively.

Post by: mrbelvedere2 on June 23, 2014, 11:12:52 pm that's a good idea to get a vinyl sticker or sign made for it. I keep looking for the "serve yourself" version as I think it's fitting sitting on top of the coke machine. Something to keep an eye out for!
Title: Re: Counter top coke sign... Post by: cola62 on June 24, 2014, 06:04:42 am In that condition I would say around $800-$950 (realistic) in an ebay auction

solution for vinyl decal is right on... it will be great and you'll be the only one to know know unti land if you can find an original replacement. which will be hard to do. it's a great sign.! Nice Pick! Title: Re: Counter top coke sign...
