This is my favorite: An original print from the 1914 Coca-Cola Bottling Plant employee outing of some sort. It reads: "Associate of Photo Co. Louisville, KY 1914" and it appears like most are drinking mugs of beer and smoking cigars! All but a few are wearing Coca-Cola caps (which I'd like to find just one of these caps!). Background shows tents and cars parked behind the men. A few men are wearing top hats. Just interesting to stare at this photo and look at the expressions on their faces...reminds me of the beginning of the movie (Dead Poet Society) where Robin Williams brings his class out to the lobby of the school and asks them to stare at the early school photos (seize the day...).
This photo measures 21" x 7.5"

Don't you wish you had one of those caps they're wearing? Cool!
I would love to have tasted a glass of 1914 coca-cola. lol
Totally cool. The lads having fun.
Great Photos Ray! These are some interesting pieces, real works of art. Do you have any idea how many of each print exist, are they numbered, have you ever seen duplicates? Or are these "one of a kind"?
Don't have any idea on how many prints exist. In fact, I've never seen another one in my Coke Club travels...although I'm sure there's more floating around. I don't believe these are numbered.
And thanks for all of the "love."
OK thanks for the lesson. I recently saw one (not like yours) and thought it was very interesting, but know little about this type of collectible. As usual, you're "in the know" about sweet CC artifacts.
