If you can physically touch them and see them, they are real. Oh, you meant authentic? Not sure about the lighter. Second pic: does that roll out? If it does, I think that was attached to a shelf, to advertise Coca-Cola. Third pic: Looks like a foreign whistle I believe. Last pic: Coke cans. Duh.
1st photo, (lighter) appears fake to me, 2nd photo, (can sign) don't know, 3rd photo, (whistles?) don't know, 4th photo, either test market cans or 1955 first production cans or 1960 first domestic cans or Canadian 1960 cans. Hard to tell without seeing the rest of the cans. In this condition, not worth as much.
The third picture is a whistle that was given out in Mexico. It was recalled due to it's sharp edges.
I was gonna say Mexican whistles? LOL
