My Great Uncle worked for Coca-Cola,
This was kept in his garage, he then handed them down to me.
I treasured them all the years I've had them.
I contacted Coca-Cola to find out some history about it, no such luck.
What they told me the item is rare one of a kind. I even went as far to search up to this point, and admit never seen or heard of this unique item.
The description: The crate is wooden, measures 3 3/4" wide, 2 3/4" length,
1 1/8" tall.
Bottles: 7 clear glass bottles uncapped, shows bubbles in glass.
4 dark color bottles, capped, which pulls apart to become lighters.
1 gold color bottle, capped, which pulls apart to become a lighter.
All bottles are 2 1/2 " tall.
Mystery to the history of this unique, one of a kind item.
Very nice treasure from your great uncle! Welcome to CollectorsWeekly.

Thank you for the Welcome !
Enjoying Collectors Weekly. :-)
It's not clear to me exactly what Coke said was a 1 of a kind .
It's a mix of mini's. The crate and empty bottles are part of a 1930's mini 12 bottle case. The lighters are 1950's. Nifty promotional items. Each fairly common in the collector's market. But one-of-a-kind in a sentimental sense, it's a neat little collection from your uncle.
Daddy. Were/are you a politician ? LOL!!
No, I tell the truth bb2!!! ;0)
Diplomatically, I might add. LOL!!
Well, I can look at this collection and see a hundred dollar bill. It's all about perspective Mr. Lucas!
