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.

I have a 60′s Coke can with the diamond design- pull tab sealed and in mint condition. The can was actually sealed and sold but never was filled with the soda contents inside.It came off of the factory line that way. I know this because my 94yr.old grandmother bought it, in 1960 something and just kept it and then gave me all of her coca-cola stuff cause I began collecting coke products when I was 13. My question is what would this particular can be worth?

I was just curious to the value of what I consider my most prized piece- i also have the trays of the 30/40′s coca-cola models on them- I never considered they’re value in dollar and cents because my g-ma handed them down to me so that makes them priceless-but I am curious to know they’re true value. Because as of now they are safely wrapped and boxed in my attic. The last time i displayed my items i had a get together and found my trays being used and as a prank my friends thought it funny to “pretend to pull the tab” off the can. I freaked out and now i have it out of sight and far from touchy-grabby hands. lol
