Yesterday at the Archway museum in Nebraska, I spied this really cool vintage Coca Cola machine.
Next to it the sign says, “Please place empties here.”

:) When I was little there were racks for bottle returns in every grocery. Our county also had a bottling plant where those bottles were taken, cleaned and refilled. So retro. So green.

Jessica, I’ve never seen these before and it looks wonderfully retro! It’s always a treat in restaurants the Coca Cola comes in a bottle, misty with cold! Very good that there is a place for returning the glass bottles as well.

Annika!!!!!! Girl, it’s been a long time!!!! Love seeing your name! How are you?
I want to go to a restaurant where it’s served in a bottle! I haven’t had soda in probably 10 years, but the misty cold bottle makes it sound so good!

Ahh … Jessica, I’m beaming away at your reply! I know, it’s been ages and I’m not on WP as much as usual for a few months. I’m very well but busy with lots of different things … I’ll be around more in the autumn.
You are so good for giving up soda totally ..l I do like them when out, a bit of a treat on warm days!
Have a lovely rest of the weeks. Hugs xx

Some of us remember when vending machines like that weren’t vintage. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the wooden trays for empty bottles.

Hi. Makes me wonder if the “only takes a credit card” water/ coke machine I saw in the hotel recently will one day be considered vintage.
There’s a vintage treasures type store a few miles from here that has a few of the wooden bottle holders for sale. That was the last I’ve seen some. They’re pretty neat.

How lovely to see such a rare vintage treasure. We always delighted in getting money back for bottles. An old penny a piece felt like a million dollars.

This post brings back wonderful memories of buying soda back in the days when my parents only rarely gave me coins to put into a soda machine.

Remember turning in our old soda bottle for a nickle? And I still think it tastes better out of a glass bottle!

Nice to see the “old school” relics still around, my parents had a similar classic soda dispenser!

I am not sure if the feed store in town still has their glass bottle pop machine but 5 years ago they did. My boys loved buying pop in those bottles and drinking them on a hot summer day. Now we just make homemade root beer once in a great while. Trying to talk my husband into making a batch this year yet.
