Pics of Coca Cola Crossing Guard restoration

Talking of policemen I came across this on Ebay UK.

It was listed just before Xmas with no picture and a one line write up. No bids. Has made a return with a fuzzy picture. I take it they are very collectible??

Cormy - Yours looks fantastic.

Cormy, Nice looking restoration, your Sign painter is awesome.
Dave, yes these originals are very collectable, often found with dings,dents,bulletholes, rust, you name it. Typcially nice originals bring aroudn 1500 with base in good condition. BUT BEWARE>> Reproductions of this do exist and are tpically sold with a solid white back and no base. I think the repros sold for around 750 originally out of California.
There are also two versions, of the Coke Cop, one has the round logo on the back and the later version has the Arcform (Fishtail) logo and says "Resume Speed", as these where used in crossing lanes near schools in the 50's.
