About Me

I've been collecting Coke cans since 1986. While not the biggest collection, I enjoy collecting unique Coke cans and bottles from around the world. I also have an unrestored Vendo 81 in my basement. It's been untouched in 13 years. One of these days I'll restore it to it's full glory. Please take a look at the photo gallery, and if you have a picture to share, go ahead and add it!

1960′s Coke can with Diamond Design

1960's Coke Can with diamond design

I was thrilled to receive this photo of a 1960′s Coke can from a reader.  Check it out!  It’s in great condition and serves as a good example of the earliest Coke can design.  I expect it’s made entirely of tin, and what makes it really interesting to me is the top.  Marcus (the gentleman how sent me the pictures) included a photo of a second 60′s Coke can with a different top.  One had a pull top, the other, a punch top.  I never considered that a pop-can would have to be opened the same way you open a can of juice?  Does anyone remember when they moved away from pull-and-toss pop tabs to the kind you bend forward and back?  Check out this article on the history of soda in cans.
