I'm not a Coke collector, but I am a opener collector. This is a B-2 style opener from between 1914 and 1930. The red enamel is standard on the Coke opener. I have the same opener for Blatz Beer, (with black enamel), valued at $50 to $100, due to condition. These openers are not "common" today, but were given away by the hundreds in the day. It's a good find and worth keeping.
Check out some of my opener posts;
