      Now THAT is cool !!!!!!!!!!

      My sister and brother-in-law used to own a diner from the late 70's into the mid 80's.

      They had all kind of displays like that.
      (refering to the food Coke display above)

      When they sold it off, most of their old displays went into the trash.

      A shame.

        The coke sign dosn't belong to the candy rack. I put it on the back because it fit and looked good. The sign fits into the old wood coke cases.

          One big display they used to have....... besides COKE
          I guess you have to be a yokel to know what it is.......

            There was a lot of non Disney Crocket items that appeared in the 50's-60's made to capitalize on the Fess Parker show.
            Most people never knew the difference-- so today, they're ALL collectible.

            Heck, at the time-- Disney was so frustrated, they called their Crocket lunch box OFFICIAL ... because there was a pretender box
            Are you referring to this one?





            This is from my personal collection. If memory serves me right (it has been a few years since I have collected boxes), Disney pulled their license with Adco Liberty because of this box because Kit Carson was featured on the other side and not a Disney licensed figure.

              Like I said earlier, I would love to have a 68 Hot Wheels display, but they are hard to find and bring big money when they do show up.

              I have not done much research on Coke memorabilia because there is so much and have been reproduced so many times.

              You have a nice collection of store displays there, tho!!!

                Thats all in my front 4 seasons porch. One kid on halloween asked if it was a store. That candy rack is on top of my coke machine. and I have a large candy bar machine as well the machine charges a nickle or a dime for a candy bar.

                  I would love to see more pics of your porch. Looks like some more interesting things in the edges of the pictures.

                          The two candy vending machines are my favorite. I had a cash register like that a couple years ago. It is still sitting at the antique shop where I use to put some of my finds when I could not move them. That thing weighs way too much to ship.

                          What video game is that, and what is on top of it? Looks like old barber stuff.

                            The machine is Tara Diver right now. The game runs on oversized Nintendo cartridges so I got a few so I can change them out.
                            The stuff on top is more coke stuff.

                              Really nice stuff.

                              I bet that Coke memorabilia cost a small fortune.
