Nostalgia Chest Brims With Coca-Cola Memorabilia
SPEARVILLE AP Open the doors to the Old Fashioned Soda Fountain and The Bay of Windmills Museum and step back in time. Tony Trenkamp owns the soda fountain and museum and has amassed a world of antiques from Coke signs to glassware. He has Santa Fe calendars since the late 1960s, all 50 states license plates, a World War II era Illinois cardboard plate, hundreds of whiskey bottles, cast iron tractor seats, sheds full of car and tractor antiques, and a Ford Edsel convertible. He continues auctions hunting for a few missing items and admits his collection is not yet complete.
