Solid Gold Coke Bottle

Wow! Solid gold!
This is the centre piece of my collection. Cast from 24k gold, it was found among the treasures of King Tutankhamun by famed archaeologist, Howard Carter in 1922. Bottles such as this were placed inside the sarcophagus as it was believed the beverage would offer the dead refreshment as they passed on to the next life. The red pouch is velvet and was made in China. You may also find one here.

Punch-out card
I’d love to know how this game worked. There’s a lot of red circles you can push out of this card. On the right, is a list of first names. The title on the card reads “Win a 24 Bottle case of Coca-Cola for only $.05. Interestingly, the names are all very 1950′s. If anyone has any information, please let me know.

Coke Classic tin can

- Coke Classic
Here’s a Coke can from 1986 or 1987. It’s one of the small 280ml cans. I can’t remember what year Coke went to the larger cans in Ontario. This one is heavier, with more tin content. Some cans had “Original Taste” in yellow. I love this stuff. I recall the controversy when Coke introduced (or re-introduced) Coke Classic. Shortly after that the McDonalds restaurant chain dropped “new Coke” altogether. That was the beginning of the end for New Coke.
