Hays, Kansas,
Today, I had a customer come in with an antique Coca Cola advertising sign, it is on heavy paper or cardboard, it's approximatelt 3ft. x 3ft. and is circa 1950. The customer found it nailed to a wall in a movie theater they were remodeling. They pulled it off the wall and of course, it had nail holes in it, the customer took it to someone who thought they could repair it, and it is now a Coca Cola sign with nail holes filled with what looks like spackle and painted over with poorly matched enamel. He asked me if I could undo and redo the sign. I said no, and told him I would see if I could find someone who "might" be able to repair it for him. Does anyone think that there is a remote chance it could be repaired? I don't have any photos and would prefer to have the customer deal with someone who might be able to help. If you care to take on a challenge please PM me and I will give you his contact infomation and let him know he will be in contacted. Any assistance who be welcomed. Thanks, Randy J
 
excellent choice

Oppenheimer's (and Jennifer Tobits) is wonderful. Jennifer helped me out in a tough situation. Their conservators really know their craft (and performed miracles - at least for me!).
