Picked up an interesting 1920-ish postcard that depicts the Candler Building in Atlanta. It's a variation of my earlier version postmarked 1906, which is the year the building opened as Asa Candler's banking and Coca-Cola Co. headquarters. The nickles were rolling in faster than could be counted.
The 1920 card on the left has a higher quality, color print. Same scene with a few differences. Unused with fabulous hand written description on the back (fun fact: Georgia had statewide prohibition from 1908 to 1935). Front is mis-titled by maker as "The Chandler Building", oops.
$7 eBay BIN and I've already easily squeezed that much fun out of looking at it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you good collectors and your families. Many blessings.
Amazing post, love it! Happy Thanksgiving to you!!
Hi V.v., thank you!
Like it a lot, interesting the difference between them. Heading to Atlanta today to visit family. Asked to visit headquarters but again politely turned down. Suggested World of Coke...but I've been many times. If I go this weekend, want anything from the shop?
Have a great Thanksgiving as well!
Thanks Chad. Safe travels to see your family today. I've been through the Atlanta airport, never had a chance to visit. Looking forward to doing so one day. Maybe some of us can coordinate a trip to Springtime one year and hit the gift shop together.
Sounds like a plan Dave, World of Coke has some amazing items displayed.
