What is My Coca Cola Collectible Worth?
Literally hundreds of thousands of Coca
Cola collectibles have been produced over the years bearing the
Coca Cola logo and trademark. It is impossible for us to
appraise the potential Coca Cola value of an item sight-unseen.
Small differences can make a huge difference in the Coke value.
Many Coca Cola collectibles have been duplicated over the years
by authorized and unauthorized sources making it more difficult
to determine the authenticity of older Coca Cola memorabilia.
Be sure your collectible says "Coca Cola" not Coke a
Cola or Coke Cola! We do not have resources for price guides of
other soda pop collectibles. Use
the links to download a free Coca Cola catalog at the top of every
category in our Coca Cola store. Here are some resources from our Coca
Cola store you may find helpful:

Collectors Corner Coca Cola Store cannot quote you potential values
or tell you who might be interested in purchasing your Coca Cola
collectable. We do recommend the following Soda Pop resources
for you to research more information on Coke Cola items for yourself:
1. General Coca Cola Collectibles
- We use
the following books and price guides to learn more about Coca
Cola collectibles and their potential value.
The Coca Cola
Collectors Club
offers updated prices for recent sales of vintage Coca Cola memorabilia
in their monthly magazine as well as good articles on various
topics in collecting from well-renown experts. The most popular
section on the monthly magazine is "Prices Realized"
with listing of current prices received for various Coca Cola
vintage products http://www.cocacolaclub.org
The Coca Cola
Company has
great information on collecting and collectibles on their website
http://www2.Coca Cola.com/heritage/collectorscolumn.html
2. Coca Cola Bottles
There
are many styles and even colors of Coca Cola bottles.
The earliest bottles had very different shapes from the contour
bottles we see today. And some early bottles used by Coca Cola
bottling companies may have contained a seltzer water or flavored
soft drink. Because the bottles vary so greatly, using a collectibles
guide to Coca Cola bottles is a good way to learn more about what
is available and perhaps match a picture to the specific
bottle you have. There are books with information about older
bottles, and books devoted specifically to commemorative bottles.
You can read an overview of early bottles in the Collectors Column
on The Coca Cola Company's website. http://www2.Coca Cola.com/heritage/collectorscolumns_bottles.html
