Vintage 1948 Porcelain Coca Cola Button Disc / Bottle Flange (2 Sided) Sign Rare

THIS IS FOR A 1948 PORCELAIN COCA COLA FLANGE (2 SIDED)SIGN. THIS WAS ONLY MADE FOR ONE YEAR THERE IS A SMALLER VERSION MADE THAT DOSN'T HAVE THE SPACE TO WRITE THE NAME OF YOUR BUSINESS ON THE TOP.

ALTHOUGH IT IS NOT MINT IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE FOR IT'S AGE. THE BUTTONS ARE 36 INCHS ACROSS AND DO HAVE SOME DINGS HERE AND THERE BUT THE COLOR IS AS BRIGHT AS IT WAS NEW BECAUSE IT'S MADE OF PORCELAIN.

THE BOOK VALUE IS 450.00 FOR THE METAL 36 BUTTONS IN AVERAGE CONDITION AND IT SAYS THE PORCELAIN IS WORTH MORE. THE BOTTLE SIGNS ARE ALSO IN GREAT SHAPE BUT HAS SOME RUSTING AROUND THE EDGES WHICH IS COVERED BY THE STAINLESS STEEL TRIM THAT HOLDS THE SIGN TOGETHER. THIS ALSO HAS A BOOK VALUE OF 450.00 IN AVERAGE CONDITION AND IN THE METAL SIGN-THESE ARE PORCELAIN ON BOTH SIDES.

ON TOP, ARE TWO SIGNS ON BOTH SIDES SO THAT YOU CAN PUT THE NAME OF THE BUSINESS. A FLANGES SIGN IS A TWO SIDED SIGN WHICH IS ATTACH TO THE BUILDING IN A WAY THAT TRAFFIC FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS CAN SEE THE SIGN. THIS SIGN CAME FROM AN OLD MARKET THAT LATER BECAME A CHURCH IN FORT MYERS.

I BOUGHT THE SIGN FROM AN ANTIQUE STORE THAT LATER OCCUPIED THE PLACE IN THE 1990'S. SHE ALSO GAVE ME THE PICTURES OF THE SIGN WHEN IT WAS STILL ON THE BUILDING (WHEN I BOUGHT IT, IT WAS OUT BACK BECAUSE THE CITY MADE HER TAKE IT DOWN BECAUSE IT WAS HANGING OVER TRAFFIC BY A 40 YEAR FRAYED CABLE). HE REMEMBERED THAT SIGN BECAUSE HE WAS THE ONE THAT PUT IT UP ON THAT BUILDING IN 1948 ALONG WITH ANOTHER SALESMAN. IT STAID IN SUCH GOOD SHAPE OUTSIDE IN THE ELEMENTS BECAUSE IT WAS PAINTED OVER 90% OF IT'S EXISTENCE.

IT TOOK ME A LONG TIME TO GET ALMOST ALL THE LAYRS OF PAINT OFF AND IT STILL COULD USE SOME CLEANING. OWN A PIECE OF HISTORY.
