Post by: SIGNGUY on February 08, 2008, 12:25:55 am
Cruzin ebay tonight and ran across this Coke sign.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160206410518&_trksid=p2759.l1259
In it's day, yeah it's a rare sign...this one is completely shot but read the description on the sign from the seller... Quote: " I knew that it was a original 1914 rare coca cola straight sided coca cola bottle sign and i knew that it was going to be an easy restoration all the lettering is embossed the straight sided bottle is embossed and the bottle label is intact and would only be touched up "
Check it out...
I just laughed out loud when reading this.... What's up with people...??

Probably read the NOS mint value in a Petretti's book and thought he could sell it for that price. You just never know what the thought process is!

The funny thing was in his Jacobs auction that he had.  If you bought the Jacobs by using the "Buy it now" feature, you get that crappy sign for free!!!!!

Here's his quote:

"IF ANYONE IS CONSIDERING THE BUY IT NOW OFFER I PUT UP FOR BID A 1914 RARE AMERICAN ARTWORKS SIGN TONIGHT IF A BUYER OPTS TO BUY THE JACOBS NOW THEY WILL GET THAT SIGN FOR FREE.  THAT WILL INCLUDE SHIPPING AND TRACKING OF THE SIGN " :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
