Title: 1905 coca cola clock
Post by: cohammer on May 27, 2015, 08:20:34 pm
Does any one here collect coke clocks . Looking to pick up one of these but just like all of them I have seen it's faded.I know Petretti's has them at $2500 but I think that's high but not sure how much a original one would hold value. The photo below is similar but does not show pendulum .

I love the early coca cola advertising items. I would say if it was a superb original example that price is probably accuate. Seems like good quality early examples still retain value at shows/high-end auctions (With sophisticated buyers).

I looked at liveauctioneers to see prices of similar ones for you and it looked like the highest was 750.00. they went down in price from there. I find live auctioneers auction prices to be lower then what you see on ebay. The reason I believe is because you need to add 20% premium to the 750.00 to get accurate price. I really love clocks also but I find it hard to find a clock that's original anymore. I found a nice pepsi spinner clock today I loved but come to find out it was a repro. Most clocks today seem to be piece meal with repro parts or just straight up fakes. Drives me crazy because I want one.

I love to find old original clock but they are getting hard to come by . I picked up this 36 inch say it in neon double sided clock not long ago and was shocked at the great condition it was in for a clock made in 1939 .

That is a great looking clock. Something about neon that's just awesome!

Yup. I would have bought it if it was real.
