The Coke bottle( I stuck a cap on it) was found in the back yard of my dad's house built by my grandfather in the 20s In the 50s-60s they held bingo with a concession stand in the old horse barn in the back. Not too long back I dug the bottle (64 date) packed with black soil (amazingly no etching) It does have the scars from several uses in the old pull out machines. The Pepsi and 7UP were found a year ago along tracks in the Paradis/Luling, LA area The Irvine's SNO-FLAKE for automobile& furniture polish SNO-FLAKE Products Co Detroit USA was found in the basement of my wife's 97 yr old grandmother's house in N.O. Don't think it was used. looks like the water evaporated leaving only the wax. Has a 1926 date on label. Lists cars such as Willys-Overland, Hupp, REO, Apperson, Paige, Packard, Lexington, Moon, Durant, Gardner, and more
