a late 1960s DETOUR sign from Little Rock, AR



and last probably worthless but cool because it came out from a old small railroad town that I literally grew up in.

Joey,

I happen to have the same 1908 sign but with the double coke bottles; one on each end...
I like the Chevy flange sign!

Jim if your interested in parting with that sign let me know, Chevrolet flange really isnt for sale at this time to cool and Ive wanted one for some time. Other side isnt as nice but still very displayable.

Great looking signs... Obviously I'm into the signs... Nice Coke signs, Real valuable if they where in better condition, but still great decorator peices... To answer Skeleton Man's question.... yes Coke is well over 100 years old... 1886 is the official First year of it for mass consumption...
I too like the CHevy Sign...... Let me know if it comes available.... SOunds like we'd have a a little on line bidding on SMC for it!
