Well Ive stumbled onto more treasures. first up a 36 inch porcelain button sign.



And second from the same guy this has been tucked away in his barn for 15 years. 100% complete even has the side access key. Embossed 7up Ideal 55, I picked it up just for the coin mech. It may already have a new home but if it doesnt it will be up for grabs. email me if interested.

Wow what a deal. I wish I was still finding cool stuff. That is a nice ideal 55. You should restore that sucker. I like the 7up 55's

If I can find another coin mech i'll probably keep it and do it up as well. They are nice machines but the cooling units are a bit steep to redo.

that sign is great, i'm redoing my computer room into a retro coke/beer type rec room.  my machine is in a nook in the room already but i'm now looking for trinkets like that sign, clocks, et al to acquire before i paint.  i have 2 great bud lit signs that will look great in there already.  it's a small room but would be a good place to relax.  i would love to find a vintage TV type that was modernized for cable etc.  good find!!!
