7 1/2", manufactured by E.M. Knowles China Co. (page 90, Petretti's 12th). eBay auction purchase, last second bid brought her home. I'm adding different kinds of items to my collection now, and it is very enjoyable after so much time spent on signs. This transaction was my first "bundle" deal. Seller had a very nice 50's wallet in box, which didn't sell (sky-high shipping cost), so I offered to purchase it at the starting price if he could ship it free with the plate. That Pickers feller Frank would be proud of me! Anyway, the plate will be mounted on the wall as soon as I can locate the proper apparatus. Thanks to TGBWC Ray for the pre-buy consultation.

Uh oh Dave, you're kickin it up a notch! Look at that early Coke stuff under glass and now you have an early plate too. You're startin to make me look bad Dave. Here's to ya Dave, drinkin a refreshing Coke now! A great collection man!
Thanks Perry! NOT much chance of making you look bad, I'm just trying to keep up with ya. I was checking out your diverse collection yesterday. I'd only really seen your CC stuff before. Yours is a diverse collection, really nice. Unbelievable condition on a lot of your stuff. Hey, I do appreciate the comment on the plate. I thought this thing was cool. I'm happy to have received it. It has great yellowish patina. It's been a good week leading up to Christmas with this and the fan delivered. Hope you and your family have a great Christmas, Sir. Keep up the incredible collecting!
Hope you and your family have a Merry Christmas as well Dave! Thanks for the kind words too. You're basically seeing 30 years of marriage and collecting as a team I guess. We have had a blast just doin what we love together all these many years. You have shown me that sometimes I get too focused on signs and forget the other cool Coke things still out there. Keep it up!
I wondered if you'd notice!
And the hits just keep coming!!!!!! Great score Dave. Happy Holidays too!!!
Thanks Tommy! Hope you and your family have a great Christmas.

Hope you and yours have a great Christmas Dave, looks like you've been good this year, maybe more "Coke" stuff under the tree?? Enjoy your holidays !
Hey Ray, should'nt you be bustin out the tuxedo print speedo for the big party today? What are ya doin yakin on here??
Thanks Bernie! I am slowing down... a little... :) I have a couple new year resolutions: Lose 20 lbs and gain 1 cool, old CC piece per quarter during 2012. Both will make my wife very happy! Thanks for your comments, Merry Christmas to you and your family! I've instructed my family "no Coke gifts, unless it's beverage", because I'm just too dang particular about what I like. Authentic and old.
Ray, Don't forget to soak it all up in between serving the killer italian sausage dish and pouring ice cold Coca-Cola! What a wonderful day for your family, especially your boy, a true blessing. Best Wishes.
