Title: Had to have it Post by: FatRavioli69 on September 20, 2009, 09:21:19 am Went to the swap meet at the old Pownal race track Pownal VT yesterday. I was walking around and found this

Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: RC kid on September 20, 2009, 04:18:32 pm I buy every original Coca-Cola glass I can find for less then $2.00. I use them for parties and when I am just relaxing while drinking an 8oz Coke.
I think the napkin dispenser is pretty cool and would go along with the theme. Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: Larry on September 20, 2009, 04:46:16 pm I got one as a gift once and put it by my Popperette. Once you get a few machines, everyone thinks you want Coke stuff. I'm just into machines. But the Coke napkins in the napkin dispenser, really is cool.
Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: SIGNGUY on September 20, 2009, 06:06:55 pm I've had some of those as well,
Larry hit it on the head, friends and family know you collect,, in my case coke stuff , so of course every christmas and b-days I'd get glasse's, coasters , cutzie bears.. I finally had to tell them I don't really care for that stuff, so please don't wast your money on it.. the stuff I like was beyond your average B-day or Christmas gift range... Oh well, probably made em mad, but not don't have to act like "OH WOW< ThNAKS a TON! THAT IS gREAT! :oh: :glare: :biggrin: Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: FatRavioli69 on September 20, 2009, 06:18:35 pm The guy had seven of them I had all I could do not to buy all off them.
Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: RC kid on September 20, 2009, 06:45:57 pm I had to tell my family and friend the same thing. Don't waste your money on that junk, because I can not see putting a new sign on the wall next to one of my older machines or other (original) signs. I had two boxes of brand new junk and finally hit pay dirt, My daughter asked for it. I gave it to her so she could decorate her room. The reproduction signs go well with the reproduction gum machine.
I wouldn't mind a napkin dispenser and maybe a straw dispenser to go along with the soda shop theme, but please, "no more Coke bears or artificially aged retro signs." Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: Kilroy on September 20, 2009, 06:48:29 pm I have the napkin holder, and straw dispenser, decorative and practical.
And yeah, count me in on friends who think anything labelled Coke would be a great gift. Please no more polar bears, i'm begging you Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: FatRavioli69 on September 20, 2009, 07:25:42 pm The thing of it is, is that l can use it and not worry about anything happening to it beacause its not that old
Title: Re: Had to have it Post by: rugrunner on September 20, 2009, 08:27:37 pm I guess i am lucky in that everyone that knows me knows i drink about one soda a month.
I like the machines as they remind me of my childhood but I mostly load them with beer. Cool napkin holder though!

The problem with these reproduction items is.......if you bought them all, the seller could just pick up the phone and order another case of them. |
