How many have seen a set of these? They are a Winchester 94 and Winchester 1500 made for Coke's 1986 Centennial celebration. The problem was that halfway through building Coke shut down the project as they because "woke" to antigunners. Even the ones that were built were put in storage until 1992 and only sold to Coke employees. The boxes of these have been opened once. Value to a gun collector is not much but value to a Coke collector seems alot better. I can not get a firm number. I have a set that I plan to sell but do not want to screw myself.

Serials do not match. According to info very few were sold as pairs. You just ordered guns and they were delivered as they were pulled out of storage.

Many folks in the bottlers association received the matching set….this was before the parent company bought the remaining ones.

I still see them posted individually, with the serial number revealed in the ad so folks could match them up again. Newer generation of coke collectors don’t seem to collect them
 
I went to a gun auction several years ago in Chattanooga and there was a Winchester Coke 100th anniversary rifle for sale. The auctioneer said a Coke executive ordered 2,500 of the rifles and matching shotgun combos. Apparently, a higher executive learned of the order and Woka-Cola cancelled the order. Rumor is they already had 1,574 made when the production was stopped. They sat somewhere for several years and recently resurfaced.
