education, resources, and fun. We have 46 chapters across the World. The Filipino’s Chapter is the Club's newest chapter. We now have interest from England and Turkey to start a chapter. Would you like to have a chapter in your area? Talk to your district representative about how to start a chapter. There is a written guide to help you in the formation of a chapter.

Each month we will learn about a chapter or two. This month it is Ohio Western Reserve Chapter. Contact: Mike Fisher at [email protected] and go to their website: www.WesternReserveChapter.com. They meet every other month starting in January which is usually on the second or third Sunday of the month. Their meeting location is always changing for more fun. Their meetings might be in a member's home, a church, a nature preserve, or a restaurant. They even have one coming up at a winery. The chapter tries to do a special activity two to three times a year. A few of their activities have been bowling outings, a boat trip on Lake Erie, and a train ride.

The chapter recently had their 28th Annual Swap Meet event, which was held in August. Their most recent event was a ball game. They also will have their annual Christmas party, normally on the first Sunday in December, at a restaurant. If you live in the northeast Ohio area or the western Pennsylvania area, they would love to have you as a member. Please send them an email. They would love to hear from you.

You may find it at Coca-Cola Journey they could drink it ice cold – as Coca-Cola ought to (Coca-ColaCompany.com) be.

But after receiving numerous offers to purchase the second bottle, Glenn got the idea of holding a raffle. From within their unit, someone came up with a second prize to offer: A miniature Coca-Cola bottle. Their goal was to raise money to support the children of men from their unit who had been killed in action.

The news of the auction was placed in the battalion’s newsletter and spread by word of mouth, and the response was overwhelming. Over a period Organizers of the raffle, Corporal Dudley Glover and Sergeant of several weeks, tickets were sold for 25 cents, Joe Glenn, with the $6,000 Coca-Cola bottle. though men often gave much more. The finally tally was just under $4,000. The runner-up and winner of During World War II, The Coca-Cola Company the miniature Coke bottle was Sergeant Lawrence went to great lengths to ensure that American Presnell, and the winner of the grand prize Coca-Cola soldiers had access to Coca-Cola at an affordable bottle was Sergeant William De Schneider.

These dedicated men brought Coke to the far reaches of the battlefields, from Europe, to Northern Africa, to the South Pacific.

These deliveries were not the only way that Coca-Cola reached the troops, however. Sometimes soldiers received bottles of Coca-Cola in the mail from their loved ones who knew how much a taste of home would be appreciated. One of my favorite stories is about one of those bottles.

An initial distribution of $3,500 was provided to families in the form of a scholarship fund.

“Article was originally published by AntiqueWeek.” This Atlanta, the Club publishes a monthly newsletter version updates that article.. for its 3,000 members worldwide and one of its Engrained in our thinking is the popular phrase, past articles brought attention to the card. “Buyer beware!” In the March l984, 14-page edition, there was an As in almost everything we do as a collector or article pointing out that this particular card, one dealer we all are conscious of the possibility that showing two women and a Coke bottle, is not what the item that has spirited our interest just may be a you thought. The card would have you believe it’s “fake.” a vintage card. But there is a production flaw.

U.S. Pat Off.” The card is printed on off-white colored paper making it look old, with red or green letter printing. This 1984 newsletter article was written by two very respected members of the club, Randy S. Schaeffer and William F. Bateman, both highly regarded nationally, and are the foremost authorities and collectors of many of the most rare Coca-Cola collectibles. Under the newsletter’s “Ask C.C.” column, there is a picture of the “questionable” card with the following notation from a fellow club member who wrote the club inquiring about the card: “Question: Enclosed is a postcard which I would like to get some background information on. Is it really old possible “fraudulent” and I give them credit for not or just printed on off-white poster board paper?” knowing it was a ruse.

In an l990 letter to me, Mooney stated: “By far, the vast majority of postcards that show advertising for Coca-Cola were produced independently of the Company and were intended as general views of American lifestyle,” but being cautious, Mooney referred me to the tenth addition of the Coca-Cola Collectibles Price Guide written by one of the nation’s most known collectors and an authority on Coca-Cola products, Allan Petretti. On page 590 of his book, in a section titled “Fantasy and A fake or fantasy item is a piece that was never Reproductions,” Petretti offers pictures of the authorized or used in advertising by The Coca-Cola questionable cards, and calls them “Fantasy, printed Company.

There are numerous examples out there. 25 cents, not the $15 to $30 they are selling for in Some of these items may have been in your family shows and on the Internet. for years or decades, so yes they may be old, but the In the “Fantasy” page section of his book, Petretti part that makes them fantasy is that it was NEVER identifies hundreds of fake and fantasy Coca-Cola sanctioned by The Coca-Cola Company. items. He wrote, “Finding out if a piece is original or reproduction is important but questioning the dealer is not always the answer. They all seem to say the same thing: “We got this from a woman who had it in a trunk for the past 50-years. Don’t be fooled by appearances.” He further states: “Make yourself aware of what color copies look like, (these cards are colored light tan or brown). The person reproducing this junk is ripping off collectors with all these phony color creations. Petretti offers this notation: “WARNING: it is illegal to produce or copy anything with the Coca-Cola logo on it without the permission of the Coca-Cola Company.” Another tall-tale sign that the cards are fake is the varying dimensions of these cards. Vintage cards prior to 1950, were of the standardize size of 5½- inch by 3½-inches. Some of these fakes cards vary between 5½-inch to 3-inch and 6-inch by 4-inch.
