My parents recently bought.a building that was built in the 1800s one of the first town buildings built where we live. It is very interesting cause the upstairs has no electricity wires but holes where there use to hang oil lanterns, no one has lived up stairs since at least the 1920s. The down stairs has been used for varies small business that come and go. Well they are getting ready the restore it due to none of the previous owners doing it. Anyway there are what looks to be antique coca cola ceilings that are hanging and working. I know value is based on demand but an overall basis would be interesting to know... thanks for your time

Are you sure these are the real thing and not reproductions? That style is currently being produced and can be bought for around $200 usd.

They look in too good of shape to be antique.

How can you tell that they are truly orignal? And the $200 a piece is that the buy now at the store or the actual antiques? The only reason why I thought they were antiques was cause the base of the fan looks older style verus the clean shinny plasitc everything now is being made with.. thanks for your input and I'm interestest to find out more from you

You would have to have someone look at it to really tell. But the one from your picture looks too bright and shiny to be very old at all. (just a guess). They are selling new in box for the $200.
