Wow... I never meant for this to get out of hand and stir up emotions towards each other ...
I was just amazed at what people would buy... My friend who restores candy machines
doesn't get those kind of prices when restored to as “Off The Line” Northwestern or Oaks.
Sad but he likes originals...
As far as Signguy's globes... those are for his use... Coke would not have a problem with that.... He has the right to decorate his home the way he wants. It's him pumping those out and SELLING them when Coke would step in.
And as far as Stoner.... I pretty sure they merged years ago with Vendo or someone so their
art would be public domain... kinda like AAA rootbeer and a few other sodas out there that have gone the way of the dinosaur.... you could make decals all day long and not be in trouble with any trade mark company....
As far as using decals from Funtronics.... hopefully no one would hurt Steve's business and
take the chance of being caught by Coke....
Again I was just amazed at the prices that people pay.... bummer he couldn't keep doing it
legally.... they were pretty cool... but not $700+ cool .... that's Quikold cooler money
