Here's the nook in my basement, well on it's way to being completed. Mainly the Coke items on the wall behind the case are the new part. I did put the seltzer bottles in the case and I still have to remove the accordian doors and tracks off the framing but that will be done soon. New inserts in the Menu board now!

Great Display, Very,Very nice.
Looks awesome! Great job on displaying items!
Thank you so much for all the great comments Kerry, chevy and eye4beauty! Much appreciated! Thanks to chrissy, Michael, trukn and sanhardin! You guys are the best.
That is one class act collection. Everything neatly displayed. B-E-A-YOUtiful job Perry. You got the checkerboard floor pattern going there. Hmm...wondering if you can color every other one. Maybe Coca-Cola green and white instead of the usual black and white. Or not.
Thank you very very much Ray! We are actually going to re-floor the basement soon. The bad part is, I'll have to move everything out to do it, all the stuff on the floor anyway.
Thank you chrissy, Longings, Designer and trukn!
I'm thinking...old wood flooring that purposely creaks when you walk on it. Give it that old country store look. You need to find an old screen door too...and add an old push bar to the door. Then get a pot belly stove, more wooden benches, an old cash register, old wooden barrels.... Then install old tin ceiling tiles, paddle fans.....
That's so funny, my wife and I had talked about wood flooring that creaked, a screen door with a door push, (Coke of course) and more benches. Oh you are smellin what I'm steppin in bro!
LOVE the glass cigar display case! What a wonderful piece, and in great condition for the age. You also have a nice Coke collection going, very nice!
Thank you very much zguy2112!
Very nice job.
Thanks so much Blaine! I'm really enjoying your web site too.
Hey thanks oilman!
I'm just going to close my basement door now and stare at this..... Is basement envy a real disease???? You bet it is!!!!
Lol! Envy is part of the fun Tommy, I think. Anyway thanks for the kind words my friend!! Let me just say that all I keep in the back of my mind constantly is earlycoke and TGBWC's rooms, ok, it's in the front of my mind.
OH that's a big 10-4 on those rooms!! When honey and I are done renting, a house with PLENTY of my space is in the works and there will be a warming party, so be prepared to travel at a moments notice, lol....
Will do! I wouldn't want to miss that
Thank you Ed!
Thank you y3k65 and Chevelleman!
Thank you collector4evr and Salles
Thank you Trey and timetraveler!
Yep, I can't think of one thing funner unless of course, huntin for Coca Cola things.
im "butt hurt" sign, your wife let's you into HER house to display your collection, im stuffed into a spare bdrm. ONLY, with mine.(its hard to create a nice display when your limited by space, & not sure whats the next item will be!)
First off Mike, it's not her house! It's our house and she's not lettin me do anything, I bought the damn place.
Thank you very much Shughs!
Hey thanks mtg!!
Thank you egreeley and AntiqueToys!
WOW!!! just seeing this now GREAT collection Perry!!!
I know, it has changed your life hasn't it Trevor? Thank you and leighanrn!
Thank you MooreAntique and dxero!
Great eye for the "good stuff" Perry, nicely displayed ! Looks like a great spot to sit,unwind, and have a cold refreshing coke!(or the beverage of choice)!
You're right Bernie! I do that all the time. Thanks buddy!!
Thank you undreal!
Very nice and clean. Looks great!!! Be nice if you could have capture the wall with the gum machine. Great job!!!
Thanks oldie and vetraio! The gum machine is not old, we use it all the time. Peanut M&Ms, Skittles and gumballs. A little afraid of using an older machine on a regular basis.
Perry, Your basement looks incredible. Not sure how I missed this post. You have a little museum there with LOTS of eye candy. Well done.
Thank you very much Dave! That pretty much what I was goin for.
