If anyone knows about Coca-Cola, it's Dick McChesney. The 88-year-old has spent most of his life collecting anything with the company logo on it because, for McChesney, Coke is it.

Probably wasn’t a delivery driver the entire time. Likely worked his way up the company ranks.
My husband and I collect old porcelain Coca-Cola signs, and have a vast collection. It's funny, because both of us HATE the actual drink, and love Pepsi, but for collecting, it's all Coke.
I collect Coca Cola bottles! My stepmom started me on it when I was 11… she had been collecting since she was a teenager.
Love how passionate this guy is. He’s an example of what can happen when a company treats its employees well; he not only served the company to the best of his abilities, he also completely embraced the brand and the role it plays in our culture, and became a free spokesperson for them for life. Coke’s current executives and shareholders would do well to keep this man and his story in mind, same for other big brands.
thats my great grandma on those platters 😂

Omg, that’s so cool! I have one of the reproduction platters with her image on it, it’s on my wall with a couple other old Coke promotional products. Her image has been reproduced so many times in these past decades, your great grandma really left her mark on American history!
Cool!
"I was raised on Country Sunshine" sang country singer Dottie West.
My search started in 1975, about the same time my Grandfather retired from West Point MS Coca-Cola Bottles, his only job 1920-1970's. Bottle washer - Manager!!
Imagine all the stories he has about being barrelled on rum and coke
I immediately went and got a Mexican coke thanks. Thanks for that’s….

His collection is worth over $1M. It's called an asset, learn about them.

“Waste of money”… until he decides to sell all of it and him, his children, and his grandchildren are set for life.
