Alangkah bahagianya jika anda salah seorang peserta yang terlibat secara langsung dengan syarikat Royal Crown Cola ini atau mungkin andalah pegawai pemasaran pada masa itu :) Boleh jadi anda agak berumur sekarang kerana gambar ini diambil pada 8 Disember 1972. Lihatlah jam dinding, thermometer dan juga signboard, kesemuanya jenama RC Cola. Saya yakin ada diantara 'collector' yang menyimpannya sebagai koleksi.
Merujuk katalog 'Royal Crown Cola Co. Media Advertising' (1971), jam dinding ini adalah jenis 'RC illuminated clock' (Kod no. 238) yang bernilai US$13.25 seunit ataupun jenis 'RC non-iluminated clock' (Kod no. 239) yang bernilai US$9.95 seunit. Jam dinding buatan Knoxville, Tenn. ini berukuran 13½" x 17" dan didatangi 6 unit sekotak. Thermometer bulat (Kod no. 126) buatan Springfield, Ohio ini berukuran diameter 12". Ianya bernilai US$2.75 seunit dan didatangi 5 keping sekotak. Thermometer panjang berukuran 9⅝" x 25½" pula adalah jenis 'Large thermometer' (Kod no. 512) yang bernilai US$1.75 seunit. Ianya buatan Covington, Ky. dan didatangi 25 keping thermometer sekotak. Berat sekotak 'Large thermometer' adalah 75 Ibs. (Lebih kurang 34 kg).

...memang seronok kalau selepas habis meeting boleh bawa balik semua "collectables" tu :)
yang bulat ada..yang panjang ada..4segi kecik ada..4segi besar ada..tang kiri atas sekali tu jek takde huhu yang ada jarum masa tu..mana nak carik ekkkk???
lucky to have all those items in my collection including the clock.
Spallan, konon nak buat marketing la tapi semua merchandise bawak balik lebih dari 3 setiap satu. Siap boleh pegi store lagi tengok apalagi barang yang tak takde kat meeting tu, huahaha!
bro afzarical, I masih ada 4 biji round thermometer. Berminat?
afzarizal, aku rasa ada collector yang simpan mende ni semua. Ha, tengok hewsim87 cakap dia siap ada jam dinding tu lagi bro.
hewsim87, too much la you bro :) The trade button is on when I see you.
afzarizal, apa lagi bro? 4 bijik beb!!!
bro frigtrice, jam ni I dapat kat my runner last year. Belum jupa tapi I guess masih berfungsi-hope so. RC cola memang ada banyak barang tapi the sinalco company in Singapore has destroy most of them. Owner punya anak perempuan asked the garbage truck to clean up all the stuff at the company including the store room. Yang I dak boleh dahan is she refused to give those item away. buggerrrrrrrrrrrr
bro frightrice, I can reserve 1 for u if u want. no problem. Its time to let some items go since I dont have much space to keep them anymore. In fact, I been keeping too much extra stuff and its time to trade and sell them. Btw, just post some pics to u on fb. have a look.
Imbecile! Sori its not meant for her, its for al the wasted collectibles down the garbage!!! :) Apapun at least its a great story.
If the clock is not working, just giv it to me, huahaha!
Bro, i've got some list of items from RC Cola (1970's), probably i could post em on my blog soon. See what we have & whats missing :)
Wohooo! Thanks bro, looking forward to it :)
Sam, I saw your pics, suweeet stuff man, balik cepat la encik!!!

Far out bro, sounds fun! My next excursion will be Penang, huahaha!

afzarizal, botol codd hang tu taknak jual ke? Hai, sampai kat blog aku pun mintak, huahaha! :)
mak ai zian,apesal komen ko dah lari tajuk?rasanya botol guli tu kat blog aku haha..camne aku nak jual zian,itu ajela yang aku ada buat tangkal..
Huahaha, usaha tangga kejayaan bro :)
Whui, tangkal azimat!!! Yelah, kalau ada rezeki dapat codd lain pulak lepas ni, harap-harap dapat lebih la :)
Weh! Weh! korang ni chatting ke bagi komen ni weehh!!??
aku rasa sapa yang pegi meeting masa tu tak teringin nak ambik sebab barang baru berlambak boleh jumpa,macam barang baru sekarang jarang orang nak simpan..
Mgtbobber, huahaha, lebih kurang dah jadi mcm chatting :)
acidwelding, betul tu bro, diaorang tak heran pun :)
Bila agaknya kita boleh kategorikan barang baru sebagai 'collectibles'? Mengikut Wikipedia - 'An item which is at least 100 years old and is collected or desirable due to rarity, condition, utility, or some other unique feature. Motor vehicles, power tools and other items subject to vigorous use in contrast, may be considered antiques in the US if older than 50 years, and some electronic gadgets of more recent vintage may be considered antiques. Another general rule of thumb is 75 years for most objects to become antiques'.
zian,nampaknya takde rejeki lebih la..seller amcorp dah sapu semua..nasib baik f&n codd sempat diselamatkan
afzarizal, meaning that ader codd lain ke? Last 2 weeks aku nampak kat Amcorp tapi dah pecah, pecah pun kdg2 aku ambik, tengok brand la :)
wow...1972 aku pun belum lahir...aku lahir setahun kemudian...memang lama nii...
~zulkis~, ni zaman Tun Abdul Razak bro. Slogan Merdeka tahun tu 'Masyarakat Adil' :)
bro, jam dinding tu made of plastic. I belum check if is still working. Bro afzarizal, I hanya ada satu saja. Kalau dapat lebih nanti I inform u.
Hi Sam, yours could be illuminated (Code no. 238) or non-illuminated (Code no. 239). Of course the illuminated RC clock is suweeter! Either one will look excellent on my wall :)
in the same category as in new RC clock designs (in 1971), theres the RC Illuminated Pendulum Clock (13½" x 22") & the Giant Service Station - Supermarket Clock (36" x 36"), its a giant!!!
