This arrived in the mail today. It's an early 1900 Coca-Cola Celluloid Note Pad and it looks to be in near mint condition. Petretti 12th edition (pg. 410), book-valued at $750. I got it for less than half that price. 2.5" x 5" in size. Over 100 pages, mainly of lined note book pages, but other interesting facts like:
• List of cities having large sale for Coca-Cola during 1901
• Antidotes for Poisons
• Fastest Railroad time; Fastest time around the world
• Foreign coins with their value in United States money
• Foreign weights and measures
• Help in case of accidents (lightning strike: dash cold water over person)
• Interest tables
• Measures of length, square, cubic and metric measure
• Official population of the United States
• official population of cities in the USA over 25,000 inhabitants
• 100 largest cities of the world
• Rates of postage, money orders
• Standard time of the world
• War revenue tax information
And about 20+ pages of the notebook have a handwritten "diary" which I'm going to read and hopefully, might give me a clue as to who owned this amazing piece of Coca-Cola history!
Thanks for viewing.

Whoa! Bar raiser alert!!!! That is one fine, early Coca-Cola item. I'm still smarting a little, how'd I miss it?!?! Now THAT is a Treasure! Great snag Ray, tip of the hat to ya.
Thats a way cool piece Ray, not likely to ever see another of those in that great condition, terrific buy!!
TOP SHELF all the way!!!! There has to be some history lurking in those notes, aside from what's in the printed pages.
