  1. That is an awesome piece Trevor! I too am jealous!
  2. Trevor, I meant for you to bring it to the Ontario Chapter Coca-Cola sale which is this Sunday as well. Are you coming?
  3. Looks real to me. Bring it to the sale on Sunday so I can have a better look. Bring you cardboard too.
  4. Hey Trevor, nice to see you back. That flange with the yellow border is the harder one to find yet I saw 3 of them at the Christie show yesterday.
  5. I think I paid around $30-$35 but that was 10-15 years ago. I really don't know what they are worth now since I've only seen yours and one other since then.
  6. I've got one of these but there aren't many of them around. I believe the proper name for this is a "change receiver".
  7. That is an awesome collection!!!!!
  8. There was one just like this in the auction at the Springtime in Atlanta convention last week. The only difference was that it had a fishtail rack sign that extended up if front of the handle.
  9. Sounds like a good idea. I'll see you in Atlanta.
  10. I have both the maroon clock like yours and the silver version. The motors on both look like the housing that is on yours. Made by General Electric. I look at Goodwill and garage sales for old electri...
  11. Actually in the bottom right hand corner it says "Printed in Johannesburg, South Africa". I have no idea why it's printed in Portuguese.
  12. Thanks, I used one of my original frames as a pattern. It also helps that I'm a carpenter/cabinetmaker.
  13. It was an interesting story but they never said why this huge crate was built. I would love to find that giant bottle though.
  14. Look very similar to the Canadian"Ideal"500.
  15. Awesome binder Ray. It's interesting to look through these binders and see how much stuff was available. And how much of it I've never seen.
  16. No, he's right . It's a fastasy item.
  17. I would buy this bottle. Glad to see Phil finally grew into those glasses.
  18. Yes, Definately Canadian. Don't know how old. Any that I have seen have looked much newer. Looks like has been used for more than carrying syrup jugs. Some of the bottle crates are dated somewhere on ...
  19. Don't forget Spingtime in Atlanta is the following weekend so you'll have to stop there on the way home.
  20. Don't worry about TGBWC. He had a pretty big smile on his face when we left the auction on Saturday.
  21. This is part of the 1926 "Fans" festoon.
  22. Glad to see you braved the weather on Saturday. I woke up and saw it was raining hard so went back to bed. Decided to save my money for the Shmidt auction. Heading down on Wednesday.
  23. The third picture is a whistle that was given out in Mexico. It was recalled due to it's sharp edges.
  24. Please don't post a picture with your socks and underwear on it.
  25. I argee with Ray. Paint it all green. The base was already repainted so don't worry about historical significance. I think I used green Treclad spray paint.
  26. I have the bottle version of this sign. I haven't seen the cup version before. I also framed mine in a shadow box frame.
  27. Wasn't me. I've had both of these for about 3 years.
  28. The green porcelain lamp with the fake looking Coca Cola script added and the large sign with the neon added are both on Ebay now.
  29. The sign in the book is 16" x 40" and has a picture of a bottle on it. It is valued at $1000.00.
  30. There is a sign on page 205 of Petretti's price guide that has the same wording and logo. It is listed as a 50's sign. Probably 1959. It's unusual to see the Coca-Cola in block letters.
  31. Very cool 30's Christmas carrier!!
  32. It attaches to a 6-pack.
  33. Ray, this is a motion sign like the one I posted recently. On the back of the hand with bottle there is a little cardboard square that holds it to the arm of the motor.
  34. Looks good cleaned up!!
  35. The term channel card refers only to the 7" x 24" cards that slid into a sign with channels. The cards for your sign are usually refered to as inserts.
  36. Where did you find the extra cards? I thought there were just the two displayed plus the ones in the bag.
  37. I have the same cardboard but mine is missing the bottom 2" so I can't help you with the date. Definately from the fifties though.
  38. Ray is right. Canada Dry is owned by Dr. Pepper and Cadbury Shweppes.
  39. I think the hand is supposed to be holding a beer can. It's not marked but I've seen similar hands with beer company logos on them. It fit the 12 oz. can perfectly and I thought it would be a good way...
  40. Happy to help Trevor. Nice to see these items in your collection. Thanks for the help unloading my truck.
  41. I think this is some kind of store display. Two and a half cases of bottles would be pretty heavy. Plus I would guess this to be a 70's piece so they would probably be selling fountain drinks not bott...
  42. The Coca-Cola Company of Canada changed it's name to Coca-Cola Ltd. in 1945 so this book cover is from before 1945. Worth $10- $15. I have the same one but mine says Coca-Cola Ltd.
  43. There was a big write up in the newspaper and they claim that the building that covered it was built in 1911 so it was painted sometime between 1906 and 1911.
  44. Thanks Signaholic,Phoenix434,walksoftly,pickrknows,officialfuel and Ray
  45. Coca-Cola was first introduced in Canada in 1906. My oldest Canadian piece is probably a newspaper ad from 1911. Or it could be the straight-sided bottles from that same time period.
  46. I agree with you about collecting paper items. They are just a wealth of information and insight into the history of the Coca-Cola Company. And just to save myself some time I'd like to state here tha...
  47. Yes , thats right Daddy_Nobucks. Trade Mark Reg. is Canadian. So is anything marked Coca-Cola Ltd. These cards are marked " Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." They also say"Litho in USA" in bottom left hand corner....
  48. These are U.S. cards. The first one is from 1952 and the others are fron 1957. There are a few others that I haven't been able to find yet.
  49. How did I miss these? I check EBay 2 or 3 times a day looking for Hi Fi club items. Duplicates? Let's talk. Spriteboy@cogeco.ca
