This weekend while visiting our son at college in New England the wife thought it would be a good idea to go antiquing! How could I say no to that when it is my wife who has found most of the awesome items in my Coca Cola collection.
The first two photos are of my newest acquisition, the picture has damage and it looks like someone put their fist thru it but, the overall item is an excellent find and a great fit for my collection.
Price wise I think I did well, I paid 50% of the frames value noted in Petrettis guide. What is the value of the picture if any at all? I believe that is to be determined by the individual looking at the picture.
The last photo is of a metal 9' tall Coca Cola bottle sign, I did not buy it (yet) but, I thought it would bring about good conversation. I did some research on both my new purchase and the 9' bottle sign. While the term rare is thrown around way to often this 9' sign seems to fit the bill. I only found two that sold and both noted the sale price. Searching the internet I only found about six photos of similar 9' signs. The asking price is fair based on my findings and it would be an awesome item to own despite the size. Now all I need is the money and somewhere to put it.
Happy hunting
Great finds!!
I jumped on the 7' version when I saw it. I would use the term "rare", especially in such good condition. Good luck.
