A guy locally had these advertised on Kijiji(Canadas craigslist). He lives about 2.5 hours away, but said we would be coming down to London to get his son from school. Since I live near the University, he said he would just bring them by and let me look at them. He had a collection of about 10 or 12. I picked out a couple that were nicer, and he put fairly good prices on them.

The Coca Cola has a bit of end chipping from being mounted/flexing, and has some scuffing as can be seen with the letter B. I believe it must have had a larger door close up against it. Overall, its pretty nice shape for what they normally look like.

The 7-UP is very good condition, and is one of the nicer ones I have ever seen. Just the smallest amount of flaking from flexing. The front on it is MINT, and since this picture I have waxed up both, and they look awesome.

I havn't decided what I am going to do with them yet. Possibly add them to the collection, or they may go in my antique booth.

Exactly my thoughts Jim. All the others the guy has are in pretty good shape as well. He only has one that has a bunch of poor repair, but it still displays very well.

Yup, door pushes. Sorry, I should have included that in the description.

Most door pushes I see are really beat up, because they were used a lot.
