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!

Solid Gold Coke Bottle

Wow! Solid gold!

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.
