A Sincere Special Thanks goes to some of the Family Members that were Kind enough to share with us, either the location where these Paintings were displayed, and for the First Hand History around the business of their family. PRICELESS!!!
We now know that these Wonderful Paintings were displayed.
Here is the message from John Bristow, "Hi Florida Past, one of the hand painted tags you have for sale is sentimental to me. It’s the “ Carl’s TV” tag. The business was my uncle Carl Bristow’s. He started the business from money my grandmother loaned him. The business started out as a small repair shop located on Johnson street, currently where the Jehovah whiteness church resides. Eventually he invested in the Radio Shack franchise and moved to , what was Millers square . Now it’s Hitchcock’s square. Uncle Carl ran the Radio Shack for several years with his wife Wanda. Eventually they sold the Franchise and retired. Both uncle Carl and Aunt Wanda have passed . I would like be to own the “ Carl’s TV” tag. How can I purchase the tag. Also I’m certain these tags were displayed in “ The Chicken Factory “ restaurant. Located off Highway 301 in Hawthorne." -

FROM LONG TIME DEFUNCT SIX GUN TERRITORY
IRON SILHOUETTE COCA-COLA BOTTLE SIGN BRACKET
Six Gun Territory, Ocala, FloridaPast
|
|
|
This Coca-Cola sign bracket once hung proudly at Six Gun Territory, Ocala, FloridaPast. Displaying a Large Coca-Cola sign below. Unfortunately when they demolished Six Gun, there was no care taken in preserving much of the items. This piece was actually slated for the scrap pile. Until someone who had Care, pulled it. And then I came along and purchased. As you can see, it's been abused, bent, rusted, lacking a curly Q or two, etc.
A Metal Worker can restore this back to it's original state. We've always kept things as found. Except maybe for washing/cleaning. |
|
MEASURES APX.; 14 1/2" top/bottom
including hang loop it should be 13" diameter, but since it's bent, it varies depending. The Coke bottle is 13" high. The iron stock is 1 1/2" wide - 3/16" thick CONDITION; 4-5 [as is, as shown] FP #302 PRICE; $SOLD S/H/I; $50.00 |
