I bought yesterday morning a large coca cola porcelain sign from 1937. it was produced in Brussel, Belgium in 1937, it's dated "T.P.Bruxelles 359-5488-1937" and was made at emailgraph brux.

I got a smaller sign last years from the same year but more damaged ( chipped porcelain )

What do you think they worth ?

That's a tough one for us English speaking folks. To me these signs have very little value..... Maybe $25-50 a piece. They probally have more value in their country of origin??? If these were in English I would think they would be in the $300-$400 range. Tough call for me on this one. I know they have more value than I would pay for them, but would be difficult to sell them???


see me at Mason Dixon Gas, Spring Carlisle M114-115, and Hershey C4E-35.

I agree they have minimal value in North America due to the foreign language. Canadian Coca Cola French signs are worth 25 to 50% of what Canadian English signs are worth.

If the text on these signs was in English the larger horizontal sign would sell for $800.00-$1000.00. And the smaller door kick would sell for $400.00-$500.00. They are nice signs. Positives working in in their favor are bright colors, porcelain, early (trademark in the tail) signs.
