I picked up this Coca Cola counter display at the Brimfield, MA flea market the other day, it was our first time there. The flea market is about a mile long with vendors on both sides of the street and they have several large fields set up for vendors. I found this item with in the first 20 minutes, it was hiding in a back corner partially covered. The front glass is broken in half, it used to say "Serve yourself", I am currently working on making a replacement for it, I will try to keep it as close to original as possible. So far I replaced the florescent bulb and the light switch in the back. Now the display lights up and the Pause sign rotates clockwise. The minute that I handed over the money and had the item in my hands another couple walked up to me stating that they saw the display from across the way and came over to take a look at it. As I went to put it away I was approached by two other sets of people wanting to take a look and ask questions. I absolutely love it and I could not lock it up in the car fast enough. I bought the display for a fraction of what you will find on Ebay. This is may newest joy and I am still on cloud 9 for finding it.
Enjoy the hunt and I look forward to seeing your Coca Cola photos
Hey nice find! Maybe at some point you can find replacement glass for the front of it. I'm sure they're out there, shouldn't take you too long to find it.
Nice one! Will be awesome with the replaced piece, sweet snag.
