Title: coca cola sign Post by: Ginger Prince on February 24, 2008, 04:01:24 pm Hi Everyone,
not sure whether dave has seen this yet, [or mrs birdman!] 6 feet x 2 feet neon coca cola sign supposedly from a film studio set auction in England 1996, [Shepperton Studios], which I have no reason to disbelieve. wonder which film/films/commercial/trailers this was used for? what would this be worth in the states, is it worth more because its a one off and its film studio provenance or is it worth less because its not actually original coca cola equipment so the collectors may shun it as its not THE REAL THING [......sorry!] GP [still in my cellar] : wondering whether 6 x 2 feet is [just too big!] [ii] :wondering whether my electric meter would actually lift off into orbit when the sign was plugged into the mains] afraid dont know how to attach listing, but its number is 250218985418 @ [www.ebay.co.uk] Title: Re: coca cola sign Post by: Ginger Prince on February 24, 2008, 04:05:20 pm heres a pic

Seller won't even show a picture of the script. Any shop that can heat and bend neon tubes could make this identical sign for much less $$$$. He calls it 1 of a kind....we call it a "fake" Title: Re: coca cola sign Post by: Kilroy on February 24, 2008, 07:23:38 pm Glen is right. If I was selling a neon sign ( or anything neon) I''d have a picture or 2 of the sign lit.
I'm not concerned as much as it didn't come from Coca Cola, as much as the seller isn't showing it working, which makes me think it's gawd awful ugly, not working, or most likely both. Title: Re: coca cola sign Post by: Ginger Prince on February 29, 2008, 08:47:03 am hes added a few more pix,
