Introduction to Coca Cola Collectibles

Coca Cola was invented in Atlanta, Georgia in 1886 by Dr. John Pemberton, and first marketed in syrup form as a brain and nerve tonic. It was sold at drugstores, which usually had soda fountains, and one day a customer asked for it to be mixed with soda water. The refreshing taste that was produced was the beginning of history.

Coca Cola wasn't an immediate hit, however, averaging only 9 drinks sold per day for the first year, total sales of $50.00. Today, in comparison, an average of 800 million drinks are consumed daily worldwide.

In 1888 the business was purchased by Asa Chandler, reportedly for $2300.00. He incorporated the company, registered the now famous trademark, and initiated agressive advertising campaigns and promotions. Coca Cola became a household name by 1896. In 1899, bottling rights were purchased by 2 Tennessee entrepreneurs for a dollar (!), which meant the drink could now be easily found outside the soda fountain. The rest is history.

The familiar red circle, script lettering, and large assortment of promotional items made Coca Cola a hugely popular collectible. Bottles, trays, signs, glasses, clocks, bottles, those lovable polar bears, and much more is in demand by hobbyists all over the world.
