Just a couple of neat items that I thought I would share. Spent years tracking down really great examples of these two items.

Amazing. Museum quality pieces and display. Original tags? Holy Coca-Cola!
These are the type of items we long for.... is that the original Tag?
Is the lamp bottle heavy? It is glass, correct?
Thanks for sharing these beautiful items (the word "item" sounds pretty lame in describing these pieces)
Red-red
Yes the tag on the display bottle tells how to make the contents to fill it with when it is displayed. The tag on the radio is promoting a radio program sponsored by Coca-Cola in 1933 I believe. Yes the bottle lamp is heavy red glass, the base is a heavy metal, and the top of the cap has small holes in it to dissipate the heat when the lamp is on. However I am totally chicken to turn the lamp on, because with my luck it would get hot and crack or something! I turned on the radio to show my wife before putting it in the case . . . . the light came on . . . it started to warm up . . . and then a tube blew with a loud pop . . .. . and smoke started pouring from the hole in the top. It looked like a chimney. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry! But luckily no harm, just a blown tube.
Ultra cool Blaine, awesome!
HOLY COW!!!! You always have the upper tere stuff Blaine!
Atlanta probably doesn't even have one of these!!!
Probably not, Atlanta has been, IMO, pretty lazy about acquiring older Coke items.
