I was out looking for things this week and came across this Coca-Cola lollipop porcelain sign. This is only the top part of a pedestal sign. Looks like someone used it for target practice at one time or another. I didn't have one so I still bought it in this condition. I put it up with the other coke items. This will have to do until I can find one in better shape. I think we all call that character.
Looks great in your collection!
Thank you chevy59 for the love and the compliment!
Great items. The new sign fits nicely into your collection. Is it as large as it looks?
Whoever used it for target practice, was a pretty good shot. Nice grouping. :)
Watch it Ray-- you just gave some ebay sellers another way to hype their items:
"Rare Coca Cola sign shot by Bonnie and Clyde".

Thanks TGBWC for stopping by and commenting and the nice comment!
Thanks scottvez for stopping by and liking the sign! Love your comment about Bonnie and Clyde!
There ya go official! They are fun to have in the collection for sure. Just somethin bout these Lollipops, who walked by them? Probably thousands at the very least. Like Ray said, who shot at it, leaned on it? I love the possible history of it! Looks great on the wall too!
Thank you Signaholic for stopping by and commenting! I picked that sign up and down several times before I pulled the trigger. Just had to have it. I also found an original base for it. I may try and marry them together. Thanks again for the compliment!
Thank you vanskyock24 for stopping by and giving the old sign some love!
Looks nice Michael.
Thank you shughs for the love and the compliment! :-)
I would say those are not bullet holes, grouping is too symmetrically square. By the look of the circular imprint around them, those are bolt holes. Either someone bolted something over it or bolted the sign itself to something. It's a beautiful sign... and maybe I've been watching to much CSI!
Nice pick fuel!! Coke signs in any condition are hard to come by around my place, I would have grabbed it too!! That is a pretty good assumption Dave, I bet after the base disappeared it was u-bolted to a post. History's Mysteries, lol.
Nice pick official, but I'm still groovin' that beauti clock you found. They look awesome as a grouping!

I was just looking through some of the older postings and saw the sign with that tight grouping of holes in the middle. I have seen similar on other signs used as a basketball backboard. The holes were used to mount the hoop to the sign/backboard!
Love your post!! Great find!
