Does anyone know where I could find a really nice reproduction Coke Policeman,,, or does anyone know how much they are selling for these days, I think they were made about 20 years ago,,, I haven't seen one for a long time ..

I'VE NEVER SEEN ONE PERIOD!

GOOD LUCK!

I understand that the were unauthorized reprodutions. Coke cola had that company stop making them...I was told thats when coke started with a mass reprodution of their own signs but never reproduced the policeman.
Less than 750 of those repops were made.
A good friend of mine has a real one....I have seen a few of the reproductions, based on condition go from $800-1500...
There is one with the coke base and is mint over in Texas...
I will pm you with the info.

Hey your a prince among men Paddy,,, thanks for the call and will look forward to meeting you someday , maybe in Iowa this Aug.

Hey Wes. Here is a picture of the policeman that we have that's a reproduction on an original coca cola base. There is a guy that comes to the swap meet in Moultrie, Georgia that still had a couple of these in their original boxes. If you want me to, I can make some calls and see if I can get the man's name and phone number so you can contact him to see if he still has them. The guy did not have the coca cola bases. You would have to get that yourself. Just let me know. Thanks, Larry

Hi Wes, I believe A guy in Atlanta had about 800 of them made but he could not make them with the Coca Cola logo on the back or on the bases so they where sold without either! The problem is guys have made the decals and applied them selling them as originals! Anyway to answer your question watch eBay as they show up often in the $700 - $1000 range as I believe this was the original price!

Larry, I would be interested in an original one for sure, I can always get a base..I have a friend selling a reproduction and just wondered what they went for.

I have an original for sale, its had some touch ups and a few dings but its the real deal on an original base. Thanks Ryan

how do you tell a repro from and original ??

I seen one a at Car Show Swap Meet last Fall if I remember right the guy wanted $450 for it. I looked at it for awhile then decided to save my money for Something Original. Looks Like I should Have bought it by what they are going for.

Its very hard to tell but the base always has a date on bottom side if not it is a repo. Look close at the screws I was told by some one who has sold a few of the policeman the repos are good the screws may be the only way to tell.

Heres a pic of my original, hes's not perfect has had some touch ups and a few dings but is the real deal with an original base. Not Sure but I didnt think the repos had the Resume Speed and the Coke logo on the back but I could be wrong on that. Thanks
