"Drink Coca Cola" "In bottles" put s it late 40's -1950's. in the mid 50's you will find these type of openrs with "Have A Coke, Drink Coca-Cola" and "it's the Real Thing. Drink Coca Cola " on 1960's openers .

Awesome thanks! Also are these openers pretty much indestructable? I'm thinking of bringing it back to school with me to use when I get mexican coke from the gas station next door to my dorm. Beats using a screw driver or the desk.  |

I have a couple, but truth be told, I never tried using them. I would think you'll lose it before it breaks

I think that is true. The thing is really strong and in great shape for its age.

They work just fine!! Not as exciting when you break the bottom out of a bic lighter using it for a bottle opener though.

Nice little opener.... I bought a Grapette, 7up and Kist this past weekend... So I've got to collect them all now!
There are a ton of different brands out there... and are pretty cheap to pick up....
Nice little find.....

I was actually thinking of putting a key ring on it and using it as a keychain for my machine keys as well as using it for its intended purpose. It was a tough decision either that or a small handle from a fountain machine.

A keychain is an excellent idea, also makes harder to lose your keys.

I think it is too. I'm kind of wishing now that I bought the fountain machine handle. I could have epoxied an eye hook into the hole and made a really neat looking keychain. |

Interesting thread.
I, today just bought this 32 oz returnable Ting bottle to go with your can.This soda was bottled in my home state of Wisconsin.
I recall drinking it (many flavors) in the smaller 7 or 10 oz bottles. There was an article about the soda and the bottler in "The soda spectrum" but I can't find it now. Neat stuff.

That is pretty neat! You know there are tons of little independent bottlers I that I had no idea even existed untill I got on this site. I hope to go back soon and get that handle. The thing just sounds like it would make the most awesome key chain for my machine keys and really hard to lose too. The handle looked kind of like the ones on this machine. http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=701&Itemid=20 |

How old do you guys think the two caps on the right are? They say minimum contents 6 fluid ounces and have cork behind them. Just wondering.  |

The bottles switched form cork to plastic in the mid 1960's, I 'm not sure when "Minimum contents 6 fl oz" became standard. Sorry i can't zero it down closer
