"Holy Grail" Wish List

[Ken R]

Due to popular demand....just kidding, but the subject came up, so here's a thread to post what your "holy grail" collector's item would be, whether relating to Coke or not.  One of the reasons I am personally asking about is because I have many items that may fit into your wish list that will be up for auction in October.  (Look for separate posting regarding that info.)  I believe we have many vintage trays for Coke, Dr. Pepper, and Pepsi, few coin op machines, pedal cars, real cars, bottles, signs, etc.  I'll post pics on separate thread as mentioned, but if there's something I see on this list that I know we might have, I can let you know what I have as there are too many pics to post.  Besides that, I thought it would be an interesting thread to see what is on everyone's list.  Pics, pics, pics though!!!   I'm sure we'll all look forward to seeing what everyone's "holy grail" item is.

1. A 1956 Chevrolet Sedan Delivery.
2. A Pepsi VMC 81
The cash to buy #1 & 2

[Ken R]

Haha, wouldn't we all like the cash for all?  Well, I do not have a Chevy sedan delivery, but, believe it or not, I do have a 1964 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery.  Very few of them were ever made, but we have one up for auction.  I've attached a couple pics on here along with my response for your perusal.

Mine would be:
 
  1:Grapette Bottle Scale
  2:Wurlitzer 420 or 430 Speaker
  3:Wurlitzer 1080-C Jukebox
 

[Ken R]

Tom, do you already happen to have a Grapette bottle case like the one in the pic?

1. RC 81
2. 7up 81
3. The elusive Orange Crush 81

pretty much a set of 81's would be nice.

[Ken R]

Seems you already have a few of those, haha.  Where in the world do you put them all?  My wife would kill me if my garage were full of nothing but soda machines.....there'd be no place for her motorcycle!!! 

[Ken R]

Say, here's a Coke 81 that looks pretty nice.  Right down the road from me actually.  Seems a bit pricey, but he might negotiate with you.

Yeah cash would be the number one for me...
There are so many cool items out there... When I bought the Nichol Kola
cooler and restored it I started buying NK stuff to go with it... Now Chedki
here is an advanced NK collector and I will never catch up... But there is one
item on the top of my list and it's the 1941 NK calendar... I know of one
but it's not for sale... So while in your travels you see one call me... See 2
call me then Chedki...
Wouldn't mind finding a Dayton 166 candy scale or a Toledo candy scale.

[Ken R]

I have not ever seen or come across and NK stuff.  Had actually never even heard of it until you guys started talking about it on here.  Perhaps it's just something from the northern states???  Either way, if I happen across something unusual, I will certainly let you guys know.

As for the scale, there is a scale that I will have up for the auction mentioned in the other thread.  Perhaps you can ID it as a candy scale of some type or something to do with the interests of the folks on this site.  Take a look at the pics.  I think it may be a seed scale...??  Name says "Seedburo".
