Hey John, Looks like you gave him a day he will remember for a long time and you wore him out. Great finds.

I'm am always looking for straight sided cokes no matter what color or how plain. Alot of people don't collect the clear and aqua ones unless they have alot of embossing but I do as long as it is a Coke.

Let me know if he wants to sell any.
