I am not one to start rumors but I find it very FISHY how there are all of a sudden several different designs of 16" Coca-Cola Button Sings. They all say 16" porcelain and have different graphics on them.. many from the same sellers , and some overseas. I have collected signs for over 25 years and I am unaware of any 16" porcelain Button signs made for Coca-Cola. They made several 24,36 and 48 but those just had the logo on them , not a full color image. I'm guessing it's a decal that is glazed over with clear powder coating or heavy laquer?
and they are going for BIG MONEY!...
Any one else see these and find it strange... I know the Gas/ oil Market has been flooded with fakes for several years and it's ashame to see this happen with Coke Signs.
They look very nice indeed and have great color , but lets call a spade a spade here and sell them at what they are, non original, newly manufactured.
I hope I can be proven wrong on this, but time to watch out if your a Coke Sign collector..
