I've always liked those mini collectible displays showing evolution of the Coca-Cola bottle. So I created one of my own. Life-size. While I cannot afford an old Coca-Cola branded Hutchinson style bottle, my good CW friend BB2 came through by sending me a fabulous B'ham 'bama Bottling Co. Hutch, including original stopper. Thank you Sir!
Nice display Dave, like the evolution.
Nice work and that is a good friend!

Thanks Chad. It's fun to move things around within a collection. I like how this display turned out. Something a little different. I've become somewhat of a curator when my kids friends visit the basement. "And over here we have the history of the Coca-Cola bottle..." The early bottles are fascinating to them. They seem to enjoy especially my bit about how flavored soda water came to be called Pop.
Thanks Dave. Yep I agree. Pieces that have provenance involving other collectors whom I admire are special to me. A jug from Blaine. Napkin from Ray. Tin from Tommy. Booklet from Perry. T-shirt from Chad. Now a bottle from Mr. Lucas. Good guys all.
Sa-weet! Hi Daddy!
