I found this nice coke fountain bench in silverton Colorado. I asked the guy if he wanted to sell it  hopefull ...he said $100 but his wife said NO to selling it since it was the best one they had that wasn't falling apart. Haha. I tried about 3 times offering more but she still wouldn't let it go.   darn Her husband found it in the city dump and it was in great shape! 

Also had the highest Harley store with a nice bench.

She should have taken the $.  $100 seems generous.
How high did you go?

$150. Was going to go to $200. She did have a point though. Silverton is not really a town close to the city...

Man Wal-Mart sold those about 8-10 years ago should have bought one I guess... people try and pass the inset back sign as vintage for $300+ on ebay
the wood was cheap and didn't hold up well outdoors... keep watching, heck watch ebay they're on there one will pop up and/or the metal parts to rebuild one.

I had one . They were very cheaply made. I gave mine away about six years ago when I moved. I think they sold new for $75.
