The museum has closed it's doors due to various reasons and all of the contents will be auctioned off (this fall I think?)....sad!!  down

Sept. 17/18.  From what I read, the first 750 or so lots will be sold, then other auctions will be held later. If they are selling everything, that will take quite a few weekends.

Wow, that really does suck!!  What a collection for all of those folks, like us, that enjoy that sort of thing and even have a collection of their/our own.  Is nice to see a museum to compare your own items to in order to see if you have something perhaps the museum does not.  Perhaps someone else will buy most of it and start their own museum.  I'm guessing the family is in no way tied to the Coca-Cola company?  I would think the company would purchase it in order to maintain such a legacy.  Sad nonethe less.   down

Ok All,
   So I have made a trade/deal with the guy that has the wood cooler box I had referred to in the beginning of this thread.  I traded my V-216 for it and $450.  I thought that was a pretty good deal.  As soon as I can get pics of it, I will get them posted.  I'm hoping to get some tomorrow, so keep a watch!!

The article I saw/heard/read mentioned that Coca Cola will probably be bidding on some of the Schmidt items because they are so rare that even CC doesn't have an example. The collection is a multi-million dollar collection over and over.

That doesn't look that old... Looks like something you would see in a amusement park I think
the logo and style doesn't look like anything from the 20s-30s.... I lean more towards 70s-80s

yes it does look much newer. I am sorry to say this but I think you got a pretty raw deal. The cooler is either much newer or at least the cooler has been painted recently as the coke script is very new like late 80's to 90's new.
