I thought that you all might like to see a coke sidewalk sign before and after pics of when I cleaned it up using the works toilet bowl cleaner.  It works great on getting rust stains out.  This sign is all original.  These are the before:

Thats very cool, I have an original advertisement from 1956 Temco sign company made the sign. The ad is cool with a hand drawn picture of the sign, a 1950s cars gas pumps etc.

Hey Joey, I would love to see the hand drawn ad one day if you got a chance to post it.  This one turned out as good as I could possibly hope for and it looks good in the garage.

No, I got this one from a friend in Maryland in August 2009.  Did someone have a nice original at the Chicago show?

Yes, there was. Caught my eye. The seller was asking $1500 for it, don't know what it sold for.
