Do these get restored? Title: Re: Some Cool Signs that Ive recently bought Post by: SIGNGUY on May 13, 2008, 08:41:45 am Do these get restored?
[/quote] NOOOO, Restoring signs is not a good idea. they are worth more in present "used" condition like this than by touching up spots. Signs are much different that machines when it comes to restoration, and restored machines offten command higher dollars. touched up or restored signs typically are worth less, or (worthless) in my opionion. Might as well make up a fake if your going to touch up an original. Just My Opionion!

Where did you find these? Any history behind them?
Title: Re: Some Cool Signs that Ive recently bought Post by: coke_and_stuff on May 13, 2008, 11:12:00 am No History that I know of, the cokes and the long Lion all came out of Long Beach, CA, The White Rose, and the round lion both came out of South AR, and originally came out of Nashville, TN. White Rose is a Canadian Company.
