The coca cola top is definatly not real. As far as I know, there was never a coca cola glass lamp like that. The base might be real, but then again it could just be made to look real. I think the base might be modern too. It just has that fake copper patina look on it. This very well be reproduction or fake coca cola item made sometime in the 80's or maybe 70's. Maybe Ray can give you more info...
Ray, Thank You Are you serious? Where did you get this information?
Funny Ray, you know i just had any heart attack 2 months ago. So I guess i'll never put anything else on. You know my mom worked for Coca Cola for 30 years, she's 83 now. I'll just keep all of her stuff to myself. I'm being serious, the lamp came from an auction in South Carolina.
hey ray. do you know the coca cola archives email? Or even better, phil mooney's? I'm still very puzzled about that sign I posted about a month ago, I want to know more about it, or even if it's a reproduction.
and artimusprim, please do not keep the items to yourself, we all want to see more of your coca cola stuff.
