I seem to recall Curtis Posting pics of a Cleo Cola Cooler  he was  restoring ( maybe for the Wolf Collection?)

K, did some googling, and found a rather brief history of Cleo,

It's a very cool sign, if the price stays affordable, I'd seriously make a go for it.

Oh welll

looks like someone beat me to the sign as the seller has removed it from Ebay...

Perhaps I should have posted in the forum that is restricted to long serving members...

The seller mentioned he had it for sale locally  and reserved the right to end early.
Which is another thread, but  darn it, no, you DO NOT have the right to end  thae aucton ealry  to sell it off line. If Ebay needs to work on issues, this is the  one that needs addressing.

Sorry, Dave, didn't mean to hijack your thread.

If we are in the confessional I have to put my hands up and say that, on occasion I have approached
people asking for a Buy It Now Price... I guess the old saying "What goes around, comes around" is
very true...
