... another "Mission Impossible"
Similar to my so far unsuccessful search for a 1917 Root Coca Cola bottle, which I'm still working on, I'm now on what might be considered another Mission Impossibe. I'm referring to trying to find and purchase a single copy of ...
Encyclopedia Britannica ~ 11th Edition ~ 1910 ~ Volume V
Why? Because it is in this particular book where Earl R. Dean found his inspiration for the 1915 Coca Cola contour bottle. I'm not sure exactly which page the Cocoa Pod can be found on, but I do know it's in Volume V, and will look very similar to the picture below, but may or may not have the same text beneath it. On ebay and elsewhere I have found lots of complete 32 volume sets, but unfortunately I do not want the complete set ~ only Volume V. (Five/5)
Normally I wouldn't share this type of information because I would be concerned that someone else might develop the same interest and beat me to finding one on ebay. But since I am convinced that finding a single copy is slim to none, I don't mind sharing this with everyone. Plus, it just might shed a little light on the subject for others who may not have thought about it yet, or didn't know exactly which book to look for. I think the book would be a great "go-with" collectible for all Coca Cola enthusiast like myself.
I guess I will just have to keep my eyes peeled while cruising antique shops and the like in the hope I eventually find one that a dealer (doubtful) will sell seperately from a complete set. The problem with sets is they take up too much room and cost anywhere from about $100.00 to $1,000.00 depending on the condition. So if you ever stumble on to a single copy of volume V, buy it! And if you don't want to keep it for yourself ... send it to me. [
