Thanks for looking in on my Coca-Cola collection, though not extremely large, it's my pride and joy.
My collection consists of anything Coke, I don't have enough of any one thing to narrow it down,
but I like pre 1950 stuff best (though it's the most expensive.) Out of
64
collectibles my favorites are either the lamp pictured below or a Coca-Cola cooler
that I found practically flat and have been working on, it's actually in a big rusty
square right now, so I've come a long way. The pictures may take a while to load, be patient.
Also I'm partial to most of my collectibles, but I am willing to trade some, e-mail me any trade and I'll check it out.

Here's my six pack of fairly new bottles, a little bear, a tray, a mug, and there near the bear...yeah that little green thing... that's actually a little tiny coke bottle I got at an auction, it was in a big box and I didn't know it was there until I got it home.

Here's an older tall Coke bottle my step dad was going to throw away, it actually made it to a dumpster before I got a hold of it. Also there's another little bear, a limited edition 1984 olympic Coke bottle, a Riverside promo sewing kit (willing to trade, I have three.) Here also is a christmas glass and a foriegn Coca-Cola can. That cube is glass and has watch parts floating in it, it looks really cool, but it's not Coca-Cola.

This is an old Coca-Cola can, I'm not sure where it's from, but it's not from here.

I got this knife on eBay for about five bucks, it's worth a whopping one dollar, but value doesn't matter to me, I like it. Watch out for these, they look old but are from the 70's, and a lot of people on eBay say things like "from the 40's when Coke was a nickle" but it's a repro, and there are lots of styles so watch out.

Here's one of my favorite items, a plastic Coke lamp, it's cracked but looks nice and works fine. Strange colors for Coca-Cola though.

Here's my favorite part of my room, a triangular shelf cluttered with Coke stuff. Here's my small collection of glass, five big and six medium, worth about a buck a piece, I plan to have a bar in my house when I move out and these will be a part of it.

The Coca-Cola keychain stemmed from a collection I had when I was about five, I don't know anything about it but I really like it, it was my first Coca-Cola collectible. There's also a tin I got in a Coke set and a tiny Coke glass worth about two dollars.
|
|
The tiny glass is the same one as above, beside it is a Coca-Cola plastic drink thing, the can before the current one, and a christmas six pack. I got the bottle in my latest venture to New York, it's the only non-promo bottle that Coke still produces.

This is the limited edition 1984 olympics bottle. Not much else to say, only that the bottle inside looks better than the box.
|
|
On this shelf I have a big Coke bear and most of my bottles, I found that one from 1923 burried in the dirt at an old foundation, the others were just picked up somewhere on the way to now.

I got his at a flea market for five dollars, it's also worth one dollar. It's from the late forties but is very common. It's one of the many small collectibles I have under glass.
|
|
On this shelf I have a can from when Coke had the red tab game, a bottle from the Coca-Cola store on 5th avenue New York, another promo sewing kit, an Eagles glass, a plastic tray, and a cristmas can.

I got this reproduction of a fifties thermometer at an auction for eight dollars, I think it works but I'm not sure. It's good for covering a nail hole in my wall.
|

|
|
Here's some decorations I have on my wall, I have old magazine ads to frame and put up, but that's not going to be for a while, so these will suffice, at three dollars each, I couldn't lose.
|
|
Ok, here's a comparison, this is a normal Coca-Cola bottle. |
|
|
Does anyone know anything about this bottle, it's like an obese Coke bottle. If you know anything about it please e-mail me. |
