Thanks Dick,
When you come down here you are going to be a different guy when you leave. So get that shoulder in shape so we can go out and have some fun in the sun.

NM is a nice spot. Course it gets cool there in spots. The thing about NM is that most of the state sits atop a plateau. What part of Arizona did you live in? I spent several years in Phoenix.

I was prowling the backyard today again, and found more
of the usual pennies, but I also found a matchbox lesley
royal tiger coach car in intact shape. I thought maybe it
was from the late 60's or 70's, but in doing a search, I found
out that matchbox car was issued in 1961. That was only two
years after the house was built, and 8 years before we moved
here. It was about 4 inches or so in the dirt.
But when doing that search, I got to thinking about your coke
can, and thought maybe I could find out something on it.
Well, I did. It's a 1960 can. The first can were made in
1955, but were test cans for the armed service, etc. The
first production can was in 1960, and matches yours. They
changed the can in 1961, and looked about the same, except
that a bottle was drawn inside the white diamond. Soo..
Yours appears to be the *first* year coke can ever made for
the general market in the US, being I see no drawn bottle on
yours. Might be worth a little bit to a collector.
If you punch in "soda can collecting" on google, you will
see the site I got my info from.

Yeah old coke stuff is highly collectable. Now if you had an original bottle of coke you could rise to the occasion as coke originally contained cocaine - hence the name Coca ( the plant from which cocaine is derived ) Cola. My sister-in-law is a big collector of the stuff and has a fortune wrapped up in it. Too bad they took the coke out of it. HA.

Coca Cola was originally concocted by a pharmacist as were many of our soft drinks and started out being used for medicinal purposes. As early as the seventies you could still buy drugs such as codeine off the shelf at your local drugstore before the bureaucratic idiots in cahoots with the drug companies declared them voodoo evil and taboo to the public. Not to long ago inhalers for stuffy noses contained benzedrine and were sold over the counter. As a kid we used to take the guts out of the inhaler, drop it in a coke, and get a cheap buzz for a quarter.

Uncle Willy,
Your regular homes, used can go for $50,000 to $100,000.new ones can go for $75,000 to $150,000. More if you have to have a big nice one.

I spent about six months in Phoenix one afternoon ! ;) Visiting inlaws in Phoenix in August is not at the top of my "enjoyable pursuits" list, trust me.
