If you have ever been to an auction, you are familiar with a "box lot". A box lot is when the auctioneer auctions a box of stuff. There may be five to twenty five items in the box. This is good for the auctioneer. Often, the bidders that are bidding are interested in different items in the box. Box lots are a surprise. We just recently had such a surprise. We bought a box lot with several items. One item looked like a pendant . After closer inspection, it was a very unique knife. It has two folding blades that come out from either side. It was a Coca Cola advertisement with the phrase "Relieves Fatigue" on it. Coca Cola has not used that phrase since 1906. This knife is old. In the picture below, that is a quarter in the picture.

Kathy put the knife for sale at our booth at The Tryon Antique Mall on U.S. Hiway 176 in Tryon, North Carolina. We also found a small pocket knife shaped like a Coke bottle. The Coca Cola Company must have sold or given away a lot of different pocket knives as advertising.
We also have a small pocket knife from the Chicago World's Fair in 1933 with Coca Cola advertising on its Bakelite handle. We have put all of these little Coca Cola advertising knives in Kathy's booth at The Tryon Antique Mall at 1005 south Trade street in Tryon, North Carolina.
