Counter top coke sign...

Hey guys I have this counter top coke sign, all glass with a waterfall that moves. I have only been able to see a couple others, what I can gather is it is a "price brothers" sign, and the white strip it is supposed to say "serve yourself" or "please pay cashier". This one you can see the paint rubbed off. You guys have any more info on these signs? Value as well? Thanks.

Petretti's guide says that these were made in many different versions with the clock versions most common. Yours is pictured with "serve yourself" or "please pay when served" The phrase "Have A Coke" is also pictured. Yours was valued @ $1800 in mint condition...in 2008. I'd get a vinyl sign made for the bottom strip that has rubbed off.

This one sold a few months ago on Ebay for $930, with the bottom glass intact. I agree to get the bottom glass fixed and a vinyl decal done, seems strange that it would have rubbed off over time? Someone must have tried to clean it a little aggressively.

that's a good idea to get a vinyl sticker or sign made for it. I keep looking for the "serve yourself" version as I think it's fitting sitting on top of the coke machine. Something to keep an eye out for!

In that condition I would say around $800-$950 (realistic) in an ebay auction

I agree that someone may have tried to clean it and then the paint started to come off so they removed it all>.. it wouldn't just "Rub" off from every day use since how many signs to you Rub?
solution for vinyl decal is right on... it will be great and you'll be the only one to know know unti land if you can find an original replacement. which will be hard to do.
it's a great sign.!
Nice Pick!

When you add the vinyl letters, have a clear plexiglass cut to give it the look and feel of reverse paint.
