Guest James Conkwright Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 I have found a guy who wants to sell me his original chrome tissue dispenser from the late 40's early 50's Buick. It has a chrome face with the rest being standard black. In the middle it says BUICK in red. Whats it Worth??<P>James Conkright<BR>1950 46-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 Condition would be a big factor here. I have seen them on Ebay from time to time - dont know what they went for.I would guess 35 to 75 bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 7, 2002 Share Posted January 7, 2002 J -<P>What Dick said is correct... Condition is the real determining factor. I've seen these tissue boxes go for $130 to 180 and <B>Higher</B> on eBay for perfect, never used ones. However, a good used one, you should be able to get for <B>35 to 75 bucks. </B> <P>By the way, I just had mine re-chromed, <I>NOT FOR SALE!</I>, and I'm looking for a small circular sticker that goes in the center piece. I've seen a few different kinds. Mine was originally the Buick decal with the three Buick Shields (or Chevrons). I prefer that one to the generic "GM" one. Does ANYONE know where I can get a replacement one? <P>Good luck "J" and thanks to anyone who can lead me the right way to a new sticker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palbuick Posted January 8, 2002 Share Posted January 8, 2002 Mostly it depende on the year of the dispenser. The early ones of the 50's had the Buick Crest, some had just the word Buick,amd later ones had the trishield. The earlier ones are the higher priced ones NOS could bring up to $150.<P>Jim Schilf / palbuick@aol.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Rawling Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I sold a nice clean one at a swap meet last year for $50.00. I had looked around a bit before putting it out and that seemed to be about what they were going for. The $160. price sounds like an e-bay price.
