Title: Coke pocket bottle opener
Post by: steven c on June 03, 2016, 10:35:16 pm
I've had this so long I don't remember where or when I got it. I don't expect it to be worth much and more interested in how old it would be. I found it in a old box of kitchen junk I had the other day. It was kinda like giving yourself a gift and really being surprised   :biggrin:


Steve,

I have several in different brands.. some are hard to find.. I would say the 40s through the early fifties. check ebay for pricing... depends on brand
and slogans.

Thanks Eric, I didn't think it was that old. Makes it all the more interesting to me. I just don't even remember picking it up so it was like new to me. I do once in awhile find a rare muscle part in the garage that I've had since high school that I forgot about

Steve,

Not much for value. There are millions of these.
In openers, most of the Coca Cola ones are the most common.

Thanks for the info, I may keep my eye out in some of my travels for some of the other variations. They could make a nice future in expensive display mounted in a box with glass front. I can see it in my mind now, laid in a pattern red background held in place with thin wire.  :glare:

        Not mine. He stopped in my shop looking for any rare openers I may have.
He is publishing a book on them.
