Title: 48" Coke Button Post by: mznb1u on July 16, 2008, 10:54:36 am I have the opportunity to buy one with the Coke Bottle and Coca Cola logo on it. Trademark and AM-11-51 on the sign.
No pictures to share but I would probably rate the finish about a 7 maybe a low 8. Has some scratches but nothing too bad. Seller wanted 450. I offerred 375 and he agreed. Good deal? I have not picked it up yet but will later today. Opinions welcome. Thanks!

Title: Re: 48" Coke Button Post by: mznb1u on July 16, 2008, 10:14:11 pm It is the 48" red one with the bottle on it and the Coca-Cola logo in white across the bottle. As I indicated before it is marked AM-11-51 and appears to be in original un-retouched shape.
The layering on the finish is evident so I do not believe that it has ever been refinished. :blush: Not sure how to tell the porcelain ones from the painted. :blush: Does the layering indicate paint? :help: I did not get back to pick it up but the guy said he would hold it for me. I would have picked it up earlier today but I could not get it into my car! Even through the back door of my Dodge Magnum!?!?! And I have moved a Vendo V-39 and a Cavalier USS-8-64 in the back of that car. I am going to call him tomorrow and pick it up on Friday unless someone (my wife) stops me! :biggrin: Thanks for the help guys!

Look around the mounting holes, they usually chipped the porcelain when mounting them to the brackets. One with a bottle is nice.
