Today I got my first ever Christmas Coke from my hometown- a 1936 from Tupper Lake, NY. I believe it's listed as R or R+ in the Coke book and it's the first I've ever seen besides one photo of one that sold ages ago online. I also got the second ever known JE Laramay milk bottle from Tupper Lake JCT... which I just so happen to own the other example of! May be a few more floating around but local collectors haven't really seen them until the two I bought came onto the market. The Coke needs a good cleaning but it's an awesome rare piece.

Thanks! Is scare 10 to 100 examples known or under 10? I'm unfamiliar with Porter's scale. I know on Hutchbook R is under 10 so I assume it would mean S is 10 to 100?

Actually, I found out it means 100-250 known. I find that quite odd actually but oh well. Its one of two examples I have seen in 11 years and the only other one was online so I'm still happy to have got it even though its not as rare as I thought

I am very happy for you. That tupper lake collection is your pride and joy. I just have the Bill Porter coke and a bunch right next to me. I wasn't trying to be smart. You know.
