Reinforcing scottvez's observation that great deals are to be had through eBay if you know what to look for.
Here is a 1940-1950 porcelain Coca-Cola Pat. D-105523 bottle sign acquired BIN for $24 delivered. Size is approx 4" x 12".
Not seeing it in any price guides, you say? That's because it is an element of a larger sign called The Colonial.
Seller described this item as "a tin box", believe it or not. I routinely see this piece selling for $100-$150 in this condition.
So thinking outside the tin box, using the guides, and gaining experience while collecting Coca-Cola signs can pay off in good times, great finds.
Love it!
Thanks fifties and Virginia!
And thanks Ray, the guides aren't always right. Your incredible, vast archive yields all kinds of interesting nuggets. If you ever digitalize it, I'll subscribe!
Thanks CK, it's good to see you posting on CW.

Thanks Kerry. Love those two alarm clocks you posted yesterday. Another fabulous timepiece find.
Great find and impressive dig on eBay.
Thanks Edisonfan for the nice comment!
Keep snagging pieces cheap, and soon enough, you'll have a beautiful Colonial !!!
Thanks Tom. Not sure I have room for another big'un. Hope it's going good and you're having a great summer.
Big winner here Dave! I wish I was as diligent as you.
With your sweet collection Perry, you're diligent enough! Thanks, looking forward to seeing more sweet finds posted by Mr. Signaholic.
Uh, it might be a while Dave.
