Love the story, congratulations on getting the history back, did your family get to keep any of the machines from the bottling business?

No machines but some other Coca Cola memorabilia including original trays and some items that they got at conventions over the years.  I did pick up a Vendo 39 a few years ago that happened to be tagged as one of their old machines.  Have to get that restored eventually.

Tim...We need more great stories like this one!  Congrats!

Thanks Bob!  I owe you a beer.  If you hadn't told me about those machine tags you picked up, I would not have thought to search Wyandotte Coca Cola.  The auction on the stationary was only going to be up for another 10 hours when I tripped on it.

Read your story at the end of a long day.  What a great way to finish the day.  Enjoyed the story and kudos to the seller who sent the items back to you at no cost.  Wishing lots of good karma his direction!
