Coca-cola 'Out Fishing' Puzzle

A 500-piece puzzle which we haven't started yet. It shows a boy out fishing with his dog and holding a bottle of Coke. This is a common design for serving trays, calendars and posters. It was also once used in a Saturday Night Post ad.

Coca-cola Barbie Dolls

Would love to get hold of these items. Very 1950s! Definitely collector items! This was launched in 1999 by Mattel and costs US$40.00 each.

'What I want is a Coke' Puzzle

This is a puzzle we bought in a hobby shop in 2006. We have a duplicate box which is a gift of our cousin Mon. It is a replica of a 1952 poster showing a lady lounging on the beach.

The puzzle is 1000 pieces and harder than the snowman puzzle. We placed it on a long table since it is somewhat narrow and long in size. Have not touched it for over a year now. Hopefully we can finish it soon and have it framed. Several hundred pieces to go.

Coca-cola Wind-up Plane

Wind-up and battery-operated (double A batteries). Polar bear holding a Coke pilots the plane. Propeller rotates and the plane rocks, gliding left to right to the song of the `Always Coca-Cola'. Very good condition. With box intact and almost new.



A friend of the hubby's sister married a Caucasian who wants to dispose of the said toy. Gave us the item for free. :)

Coca-cola Trading Cards

If you collect Coca-cola advertising items or trading cards, you might be interested in this blog entry.

The trading cards were reproduced in 1990s and show everything that is Coca-cola for the period of 1909 to 1993: delivery trucks, advertisements, original artwork, etc. At the back of each card is a write-up and a bit of trivia.

Very useful reference for collectors who want information on vintage items.

Full set is 100. Hard to find nowadays. Manage to have a couple with duplicates, not framed.

Water Game Truck

Can be filled with water. Push the white button and miniature cans and bottles shoot upwards. Drop items inside the cooler or truck.

Snowman Puzzle

This is a snowman puzzle we finished in October 2008. It was fairly easy to do since it is comprised mainly of large cardboard pieces. Managed to finish it in five hours. Framed and hung during the Christmas holidays
