This sign super awesome looking sign, I was wondering the book value or current day value or if any one else has seen this version or have one. This is the first I have seen and wanted a second opinion on such a high dollar item before I bid. E-mailed seller, guarantees vintage and original. Thoughts????

It's more than likely an english version of a foreign sign. I've never seen this version either!

I believe the sign is original but from Australia..

Better to ask on a Soda Forum than a Gas Station/Oil Co. Forum.

Have never seen that one but I don't think I would sit it in the gravel to take a picture. I looked at the petretti's 12th
edition and the logo on that sign does not seem to be right.

I think this forum is just fine to ask on, it says non petro. Thanks for your input!

Very true! I've been a Coca-cola collector for 40+ years and I'll be the first to admit I've not seen it all.

I think what Dick meant is you might find more experts on a soda website than a gas and oil website. But, the collection of general knowledge of signs and other non oil and gas items is pretty amazing here......

Yes, thanks for all information, this seems like an above average knowledgeable website advanced further than I have seen or ever been on. Doubt there is a better website for collectible information, well as far as signs and porcelain goes. Thanks to everyone, I think I will try and get coke sign. Seems like a beauty. Great weekend all!!!!!

"things go better with coke" and "drink coca cola"... is that 2 different slogans on one sign? Seems strange.
Is there a date on the sign?

65- Sydney

Strange? Not at all when you consider the U.S. Version had the same slogans on their TGBWC signs. Instead of the coke pouring into the glass, we had just the full length bottle.

Well said!

I been collecting coke signs for a long time and if you look at my sign logo and compare it I do not think that e bay sign is the real deal. Coca cola did not vary their logo arrangement.

Have learned that sign is fact vintage and all original, the markings on sign are authentic. Sign is in fact foreign (Australian) with English text. Very few survived there with the double logo text. This was more than likely imported to someones collection. It will be interesting to see what it brings. What a BEAUTY!

Please let all of us know how this sign is authentic I for one would like to learn more about this sign. All of my foreign signs , french and canadian just changed the language in drink they did not shift the text .I have been burned before and was fooled by a repaint of an old sign just like to be careful it looks good but just have not seen one.

wouldn't shock me if it topped $1,000.00!

Glad you shared it with us. Thank you!

Hello: yes, you are 100% right about the French-Canadian about just changing the words on their signs. When produced only text was changed, that is why its more desirable to see some English text signs from Canada market. Items such as the match-striker and door pushes that were made in Canada, and mainly produced in French.. That is why this sign is very interesting, it has a different double logo, and an odd example of a bottle pouring into a glass. I know little to nothing about Australia market, but the markings on the sign on bottom right are legit, and the measurement is spot on for the 18 x 54 size. The sign is entirely paint, no decals on this one for any confusion. Seller also told me came from a private collection and there was 100% money back guarantee on authenticity.

Most any Coca-Cola signs made outside the U.S.A. have various ads that were different than ours here in the states aside from the language. Fonts and sizes were/are changed from country to country.

$1,136.11 HAMMER DOWN.

STILL NOT SURPRISED!

Its definitely a nice sign.
