   sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event. Check it out!   
      
   Frank S. from Illinois sends in this story about something his father   
   collected but almost "lost": "If only we could go back in time! Little did we   
   know that those large silver coins we snuck out of a large canning jar (to buy   
   from the neighborhood ice cream man of course) were our father's collection of   
   silver dollars!  I often wonder if that ice cream man knew just how valuable   
   those coins were (even back then)."   
      
   Kelly R. wants to know if anyone can help identify and value this cool Coke   
   item: "We found what looks to be like a vintage umbrella or parasol cover.  It   
   has eye lets along the bottom, but on the outside outer edge of the canvas   
   instead of underneath like most umbrellas, and snaps along the side from the   
   top center hole to the bottom.  The top center hole would resemble what an   
   umbrella would stick through. I have looked extensively all over the web in   
   every venue I could find for coke.  Can you please help.  Thank You, Kelly" To
