My wife surprised me with this for fathers day, I was real shocked. Normally she just gets me Ebay gift cards because she says she doesn't know where to go to find the stuff I like LOL. I tell her flea markets, yard sales, old buildings, old gas stations, digging through junk, antique shops, and her normal reply is I'm not you. This is the second thing she has got me off Ebay, it is a 1930's Victor adding machine restored with a Coca Cola theme.

Well even though it's a total fantasy item and not a genuine Coke product, it is red and white. I will never understand why people over decal and over design these things. Us true collectors could make some serious moolah because we know how to really decorate an item to look like the original. ;) Course I won't be doing anything of the kind myself.
Exactly what I thought, I think my wife still thinks it's real LOL. I thought about taking all the decals off but I didn't want to hurt her feelings.
Yeah, be careful there.
Thank you for the love officialfuel.
