The reproduction and fantasy page has been built for collectors to use as a reference. The best advise to give is: "if in doubt - pass it up". It is my opinion, it is OK to buy reproduction or fantasy items if you know that is what you are buying and that the seller of the item makes you aware and does not attempt to pass reproduction or fantasy items as "rare", "original", "vintage" items.
Most of this section deals with Pepsi:Cola items, if not specificaly stated I am talking about Pepsi. Other soda brands will be included at times but will state the specific brand.
If any collectors can add to this list please let us know, it is our goal to keep this list as updated as possible and to keep fellow collectors informed.
*I would also like to hear from anyone who can give me a information on the Stout Sign Co. and their markings on signs along with other sign makers who produced signs for Pepsi:Cola.
