These are some Coca Cola paper cups and a metal syrup jug from 1930's that I bought from an auction. The auction was of a Coca Cola Museum in Minnesota that was closing. I bought other stuff that I will be posting later.

Very nice piece! I bought many things from that auction as well. Can't wait to get them all.
Very cool syrup can! It's really hard to find the syrup cans or is that just me.
Nice additions tho
Just you spriteboy.
Signaholic what all did you get from the auction? Spriteboy thanks for the comment and I have not bought any syrup cans before now so idk.
Is this the auction that just happened over the last 2 days in MN? If so, I won 2 seltzer bottles, a menuboard, a ceramic pencil holder from the 1960s, silver 51' clock like Ray and Spriteboy have in their collections, a "Here's Refreshment" sign from the 50s with the horseshoe and silver bottle and a few other things I can't remember.
Yea it is that one. It sounds like you got a lot of good stuff. I was probably biding against you on some of those things lol. I just pick the stuff up today, stood in line for 2 and a half hours just to get to Coca Cola stuff. So do you live near MN then?
No but I guess you did. Looks like I have to wait for mine to show up, I hope it all makes it here. I have bought items at auction before and wound up not getting everything I won. They did return my money but there's a 1950s arrow Coke bottle sign floatin round somewhere that I should've gotten. Hopefully these people will be paying attention at the time of shipping. You're lucky to have lived close.
Oh, I also bought the matchbook holder.
Yea I only live and hour away from there. Yea hopefully you get everything this time. Oh that matchbook holder was cool. I was going to bid on that but ended up forgetting to. I had to many other things to bid on. lol
I know that feeling! I also won the square 1960s TGBWC clock.
The way did my bidding was put my high bid in and prayed.
I always bid the last couple minutes of the auction ending. Your way would be better and easier.
Well I had done the research and knew what I had spend on each item. It's a little more relaxing just watching it and you don't have to watch the clock.
Yea I think I will do that next time I bid online.
