Coca Cola Mementos On Auction Block
Coca-Cola memorabilia collectors get a chance this weekend to buy some of the thousands of items collected through the years by the Schmidt family of Elizabethtown.
More than 700 items are on the auction block Saturday and Sunday at the Schmidt Museum of Coca-Cola Memorabilia. The proceeds will go to a charitable foundation started by the family, The News-Enterprise reported.
The family plans to close the museum and, in a series of auctions over several years, sell its entire collection of about 80,000 items collected since the 1970s. The family says the estimated value is about $10 million.
Among the items up for sale this weekend is a restored 1920s delivery truck. The estimated value is $28,000 to $30,000.
