Title: antique coca cola sign
Post by: Stuff-For-Sale on March 23, 2013, 11:11:09 PM
well it's been a few days since i've been online or pickin.. got a call from a guy who owns an antique shop today, he wanted to buy an old hatbox which was part of an old dresser set, as well as two old scales. I got there and ended up buying a few things. here's the sign.

can anyone give me any info? i've been searching online all day and night but i can't even find a picture of it. i'm wondering how old it is and what you guys think it would be worth in the condition it's in. my guess is it's from the 40's.

thanks
Kevin

Most similar signs like this date from the early 50`s !! Only difference is the placement of "Buvez" which is at the top of those I found and yours is on the left !! Not unusual to find varied lettering !!  Yours is probably the same time period !!

Any idea on the value of the sign in this condition?

Most that I saw were in that price range !! This one, considering the condition, maybe $40. to $50. !!
