Title: Coca-Cola Police Gaurd
Post by: Funtronics on May 10, 2017, 11:47:38 am
I bought this nice original Coca-Cola policeman sign and then I also purchased a reproduction cop as well. So I decided to recreate the decals on the back. My graphic guy did a great job. He even used the reflective material on the top decal like the original one had. Cost a little more, but it is dead on to the original. So this is a new item that Fun-Tronics will be selling. So if you need one give Janet a call.

Correct. Just the decals on the back.

Didn't know this was reproduced as well...I hope the repro is evident from the original. The whole market is suffering from the onslaught of reproduction items. :censored:

A real game changer & shame.. :veryangry:

In this case we are talking about decals which are relied upon during every restoration of an item whether we like it or not !

I took it as he didn't know they reproduced the Police Guard but I could be wrong.

That decal would look great as a medal vertical sign.

the Repro Cop came out a few years ago... somewhat of a limited run and had a blank back...not sure how many where made but they where good but to a trained eye , they are not too hard to tell apart..
anyway.. what Rod was recreating was the back image.. as this was not part of it..

looks great!

You can tell the repo cops from the real ones even after installing the decals I made. The real ones are dated at the bottom and the original ones gold shield on the front is a different colored gold.
