Wanted Old Soda Crates

[SIGNGUY]

If anyone is coming to Chicago show or anyone who has any old Soda crates for sale, I'm looking to buy a few.
I am looking to make a project out of them so only need the side logo'd parts in "Decent" but not perfect condition. a little weatherd is preferred.

let me know what you have.

Thanks

Are you looking for the short crates like the Coca Cola ones that you see all of the time, or can you use earlier crates that have 10" sides? I have some of the tall crates.

I'm open to anything really.. I am making something out of them.  very hush hush.. will showcase it when done.
 
would be great to find a variety of soda brands.. ideally the standard size would fit best..

i just checked my bookmarks but must have deleted it

i had a site that was devoted to making/upcycling old

beer and soda crates

there was a tremendous amount of funky projects people had done

and i mean really funky they had used the old crates for, shame i

have deleted it in error at somepoint.

good luck with your project

Did you find enough crates for your project John?

Did you find enough crates for your project John?

No I am still looking... I have plenty Coke 7up ones.. bought a cool Grapette one.  but need about 20 more.. hopefully other brands.  stuff on ebay is crazy money .. so still looking..
the hunt is half the fun too... gives me something else to scour craigslist for now.. as much harder to find rare machines and cheap signs...

any help would be appreciated.. really dont' want to spend more than 10-15 for a crate.. and most online buys it costs at least that to ship it...
