You know Jack, MOST guys your age are out trying to score with Hot College Chicks.. here you are "Antiquing"... When you said here are some of my finds during Spring Break.. I was expecting some thing a little more racy!  biggrin

But on another note, great finds.. I'd say the 12" button looks real..

Now go find a Kegger somewhere!! Comon.. It's been years since I got to go on spring break.. we need some good stories!  biggrin tounge

There will ALWAYS be a girl out there... but not this stuff... spend your money on soda stuff.... it's cheaper!
Personally... I never partied through college... I was older going in (21) and was quite popular as I could have bought with a REAL ID...  but never did..
I actually started getting into antiques and soda then... Did I miss out on anything? Well... I have a
beautiful wife and 3 awesome kids.... I regret nothing...

The button is the real deal.. no one is repoping those like that now ...the cost is CRAZY money...there are a couple cheap repops from overseas and are junk they have different wording and art... no one did just the “Drink” buttons or “In Bottles” buttons... You scored!

Now Enjoy yourself.... time flies!!!!! Heck you might find a girl who collects!... Or one who's grandpa owned and ran a Coca-Cola bottling company.... Be good happydrinkers

Great finds Jack! Glad to see I'm not the only college kid out there buying stuff like that! I've found that machines you have to hunt for, and girls you just stumble into.
