ebay auction to support our forum. Coca-Cola Logging Litho from Pasbuild!

Jeff · December 30, 2006, 05:45:20 PM

Folks, thanks to Pasbuild's generous donation back to the forum of the litho he won in our Christmas contest, we get to have another auction! 8) Some of our visitors here before Christmas got to see the real deal and expressed how the photos we have just don't do it justice. Thanks again Bob for your continued support of the Forestry Forum. Bob has donated several Birdseye Maple clocks in the past for different Forum events.

Let the bidding begin. :D

Hey Jeff,

That's a beaut! 8) One question though...where's the coke insignia? Is there a coke bottle stuck in a drift of snow somewhere?

Jeff · January 01, 2007, 04:17:21 PM

There isn't any coke insignia in the print. Coke put out quite a few forestry related print items about that time, for what I was told to help the war effort. Beneath the frame, on the border of the print is printed:

COPYRIGHT MCMXLIII - THE COCA-COLA COMPANY . . . LITHO IN U. S. A. BY FORBES

I snapped a photo of our copy of the litho that is not as good as the one listed in the auction. The one for auction has crisper edges then the one we kept. I bought them at the same time quite awhile back, back before ebay collectors made the value of such stuff to high to buy anymore. :D

Reddog · January 01, 2007, 06:12:14 PM

Are you telling me to retract my bid?

Jeff · January 01, 2007, 06:45:22 PM

No... I dint think so. :D Not sure what I said negative. All is good. Values and collectability for forestry and logging collectible are up, they keep going up and I don't see them going down, and the one on auction is the best of the two we had. We kept the other, as it isn't for the value, its for the content and it will frame and look just as nice for us as the better one would have.

Someone wants a reason to donate to the FF too. Win win situation.

Reddog · January 01, 2007, 07:18:14 PM

I was kidding Jeff. ;D
Keep bidding folks. It is all for a good cause. ;)

The action on this auction sure is quiet for the past few days. Guess that noone has any Christmas money left to spend. I sure hope who wins the pic has a great place to hang it. Jeff has sure put alot of things of his own up here for auction himself considering what he does for us.

Thanks for the Forum, Jeff. And all of the Administrators too. 8) 8)

Jeff,
I was the next lower bid. I would honor it if that is a way you would go.
Or put it back up and I will bid again. Just let me know.

I'll give them another couple three days to contact me. Shortly before the auction ended they asked where the coke was in the advertisement. I didnt get the email until the next morning when they also sent a message asking about insurance. I answered that the print was not listed as a coke advertisement but a coke print and there was no coke actually in the picture. I never got a reply to those or the invoice, but it could be they are mailing payment, do I'll wait and see,

Jeff · January 12, 2007, 08:55:12 PM

Well Reddog, its looking more and more like we might get to default this to you if thats what you would like to do. I sent another ebay message out asking if the auction had been over-looked as we aint heard a peep this week. I'll give it until Sunday to here back.

Reddog · January 13, 2007, 07:32:02 PM

Offer still stands. Let me know.
