From "Free Sample" to the bigger "Sparkle" cups, these are some I never thought I would own. I think the diamond and the 1964 Worlds Fair cups are my favorites. Thanks again Ray for thinking of me! I also bought this Dixie cup dispenser from the 1960s for some of my Coca Cola cups, I'll be hanging it on the wall soon.

thats some variety you got there sign, nice job!
Thanks Mike, from what TGBWC tells me, the larger ones are very hard to find.
...and that cup to the left of the gold foil cup "Pause that refreshes," is from the 1940s and I believe was the very first cup that Coca-Cola produced.
Thanks for the extra information on that Ray. I saw that lettering and did wonder about this. Woooohooo!
Thank you Michael and Designer!
Great cup collection!
Thanks Trevor and Tommy!
Thank you Trey!
Thank you Kerry!
