Coca-Cola Amsterdam Tower Aluminum Bottle Netherlands 2017








The A'DAM Tower is an almost 100 meter high tower on the IJ river in Amsterdam-North. The tower was designed by the Dutch architect Arthur Staal in 1966 on behalf of Royal Shell. The building was therefore better known as "Shell Tower" by many Amsterdamers.In 2016, after a two-year renovation, the tower was renamed A'DAM Tower.

History 
Around 1965, Shell's management at the IJ Bank decided to build a new building for the management and general services of the Shell Laboratory. Arthur Staal was chosen as architect. Because the terrain was small, the new building should become a tower. Steel designed an office tower that is rotated 45 ° with respect to the IJ river. The tower derives its original name from Tower Overhoeks.

In March 1966, the foundation of a foundation on the second sand layer under Amsterdam began. The concrete used for the foundation floor was of poor quality and in July 1967 the floor was inflated with dynamite. Then a new floor was poured which was ready at the end of 1967. In 1971 the tower was completed.

In 2003, the Shell site was purchased by the municipality of Amsterdam. The residential area, which was developed on the former Shell site, was referred to this tower overhoeks.

In 2009, Shell left the office tower. This was then used as a temporary company collection. A large restaurant was opened in the former business corner next to the tower in 2013, in conjunction with the development of the adjacent Tolhui garden, which until 2009 was not accessible to the public.

In January 2014, it was known that this tower under the name of A'DAM, to a design by Claus and Kaan Architects, would be redeveloped into a combination of offices, nightlife and an observation point with a revolving restaurant. To this end, a major renovation of the facade would be necessary, replacing the typical glass window with a thin layer of gold. Since the mast has been placed on the tower it is about 100 meters high.

On May 14, 2016, the renovated A'DAM Tower was opened.

Coca-Cola 130th Anniversary Celebration Harlequin Diamond Aluminum Bottle Netherlands 2016





In 1961 brought about the first real generation change in cans for Coke. They introduced the first bottle design within the diamond for the first time. 

1966 saw another generation change as Coke moved to the Harlequin design that is sometimes indicated as the small diamond can. The first version is available as a flat and a pull top, with the flat top being a much tougher find. The distinction between the first and second version of this can is made by the placement of the "Contents 12 FL OZS". The first version has it at the top, while the second, available only as a pull tab for the first time, shows it at the bottom.

The final version of this can made it's appearance in 1967. It was Coke's first effort at using an all aluminum design. This can is easily distinguished from its predecessor due to the indented ridge at the top lid and the curved aluminum shape at the base with no true bottom lid. In addition, the All Aluminum statement is made on the bottom of the can. A second and more common all aluminum can quickly made it's debute, but this time the all aluminum statement was on the side of the can.

The harlequin designs remained in use until the next generation change which took place in 1970 as coke moved to it's spiral design which we are still familiar with today. Take a look at the first spiral design can, a very difficult to find two panel dull red flap top - notice that the one content line lists "Carmel Colored" as the only item. This can was also available in metallic paint. The second spiral design, released in 1971 had a shorter "Coke" on the side panel, yet still only listed one content line. It is also available in dull red or metallic paint.



1961 brought about the first real generation change in cans for Coke. They introduced the first bottle design within the diamond for the first time. The can pictured was loaned from the collection of Fred Dobbs. It is similar to the second design, which appeared in 1963, but without the large 12 OZ labels above left and below right of the diamond. The other important detail of the bottle design is that all three can be found in the earlier punch top which required a church key to open as well as with an early design of the pull tab.

The third and final change, which made its first appearance in 1965, for the bottle design was again to remove the large 12 OZ indicators above and below the diamond and to replace them with a single, smaller line stating "Contents 12 FL OZS" which can be found at the base of the diamond.

Although the bottle design cans are much more common than the ealier plain diamond cans, they are nonetheless, still very desirable.
