In the 1980's and early 1990's massive data bases were established by Paul Bates to track the many varieties of soda and beer collectibles that were accumulated for the Museum of Beverage Containers and Advertising.  These data bases were eventually converted into some 70 different books, mostly about soda collectibles.  

In this section of Nostalgiaville, we are going to share this valuable and historic information.  Please excuse the sometimes crude presentation of the data bases.  They are being copied to the Internet in the format they were stored since the early days when they were created... we have all become more sophisticated in our expectations since then, so be patient with us.  We also have thousands of pictures that go with our data bases... but it will take time.
