Coca-cola Clocks: They're The Real Thing

By:


Almost everyone in the world recognizes the distinctive logo of Coca Cola. Since Coca Cola became so popular worldwide, the company realized many years ago that issuing collectibles bearing the Coca Cola label would be an excellent form of advertising for their product. Collectors of any age can now find numerous Coca Cola items to fit their tastes and pocketbooks.

Some collect Coca-Cola clocks, signs, pins, sweatshirts and thousands of other memorabilia and objects both for their practical uses and for their logo. Their Christmas Santa appears on mugs, clothing and dozens of other objects and brings in sales year after year. Creation of this Santa in 1931 is believed to have popularized what we associate with how Santa looks.

Coca-Cola clocks were originally made to place in stores selling the sodas and many have a "Sold Here" text to directly advertise the brand. These were large and were often given to merchants as an incentive to display them. They range from simple clocks with logo and decorations to elaborate neon clocks. Alarm clocks are very popular for home use, but the neon clocks are seen as art and decor as well as merely practical timekeepers.

Apart from the vintage and other old Coca-Cola clocks, the current trends in different watches and clocks continue to gain popularity among the masses. Coke aficionados love these gifts. Also, there are many people who like the brand and love every single item even if they do not have a collection. After all, clocks make a perfect gift anytime, any day.

There are even pins made that are replicas of these Coca-Cola clocks, and people who specialize in pin collections and those who specifically collect advertising and logo clocks all seem to enjoy these attractive pins. They make excellent decorations for gift packages as well, and can hint at the kind of present inside to tease a collector.

Modern Coca-Cola clocks may be sophisticated electronic chronometers or replicas of vintage clocks. Age alone is not what makes these clocks desirable or valuable, since some from only a few years ago may bring many times as much at sale or auction than real vintage ones. There is also a thriving business in making vintage replicas. Replicas can be fairly costly, but most of them are a more affordable way to own or give these items.
