Vintage 1906 "Diamond Label" Straight-Sided Bottle

This straight-sided bottle is a reproduction of the original 1900-1916 "Diamond Label" bottles, nowadays often called the straight-sided bottles due to its straight side as opposed to the curvy side of the Contour Bottle which made its debut in 1916.

The straight-sided bottles were similar to the bottles used for other beverages, distinguished only by the trademarked diamond-shaped paper labels. The diamond labels featured either "Atlanta, Ga." or the signature of Asa Chandler, who was then president of The Coca-Cola Company.



This reproduction straight-sided bottle features the early 20th century Coca-Cola Spencerian script logo and "Diamond Label" design elements. Straight-sided bottles are the successor to the "Hutchinson Bottle" which was first used to bottle Coca-Cola.

1992 Customer Appreciation Week Special Edition

This is a special edition can from 1992 Customer Appreciation Week.




Written on this side of the can are the words:

"Satisfied customers and consumers are the lifeblood of The Coca-Cola Company and of our worldwide system. They pay our salaries, feed and clothe our families and educate our children. Every success we have attained is due entirely to them.

Customers and consumers are 'ours' only as long as we merit their confidence, their respect and their trust. Everyday, we must serve them with a passion borne of the knowledge that without our customers and consumers, the Company would quickly close its doors."

Trivia: Are we customers or consumers?

Coca-Cola Centennial Special Edition

This is a special Centennial Special Edition in 1986 to celebrate Coca-Cola's 100th birthday. These cans feature Coca-Cola's advertisements over the years.

Coca-Cola 1987 Christmas Special

These cans are from a Chrismas special set from 1987. These cans feature paintings of Santa Claus by commissioned artist Haddon Sundblom for Coca-Cola Christmas advertisements in the 1920s to 1930s. Coca-Cola's advertisements of Santa Claus help shape the modern image of the Father Christmas (I'll be doing a post about this later).

Coke-Diet-Zero

I don't know whether these cans are special edition or not, however the designs are special, as I have pointed out in my previous post.
