The Coca-Cola gods must have known I needed a little pick-me-up today. A 9" round celluloid sign purchased last week for $135 total was delivered to my doorstep by our USPS angel. This is a very nice example, "mint" I believe, and just what Dr. Pemberton would have ordered to cure my recent blues. My third one of this type, I have them hanging up the thin strip of wall just this side of the wet bar. I will enjoy this one especially I think. Hope everybody is having a nice weekend. -- Dave
Nice Dave!! Can't beat a matched set!!
Petretti's 12th pg. 268 lower left had corner. "c. 1940, 9" celluloid... $375"
shows this sign exact sign with Reg. U.S. Pat. Off. printed underneath the Coca-Cola logo.
Ray you're mean, real mean. Dave love the set.

Thanks Kerry... I'm going back to putting away the patio furniture!!!!
Nice collection Dave,great set of signs,you should connect them with a piece of chain to remind you of Ray pullin' yours:)
Dang , Ray is pure evil ain't he? Muuuhahahaha, Dave you scored on this one buddy!
Where'd you find them great looking discs? Super sick collection man
Thanks Bernie and Perry. I grew up with older siblings. So I had to learn to take it as good as I can give it. I've been subjected to some pretty twisted humor, nothing new. I remember one time, my brother... ah, I won't go into it... ;)
All eBay finds. The late 30's sign was a buy it now $178 total, the 50's sign was a bid auction $30 won it (was covered in grime, cleaned up real well), then this 40's sign I negotiated $135 total buy it now. Yikes, so that's $343 total for the three. Man, that adds up! The one I received today looks like it just came out of the wax envelope.
Very nice Dave! You got the whole lot of them now, big congrats to ya!
I know you're looking for one of these, I'll keep my eyes peeled. earlycoke in one of his earlier posts said this version is pretty common, but I haven't seen only a couple come up this year. Next time I see one I'll send you a note.
Bless you Dave, thanks!
i really need to start using ebay if i want to get these US signs, its hard to find them without ebay, i guess thats why antique prices have dropped in the last 5-10 years more people are starting to use the internet and hard to find items are becoming easier to find/get.
I'll keep on eye out Trev for a good deal and let you know. I run across these frequently.
okay thanks Dave
