Thank you for educating me on PBB1050s.

While I'm providing my extremely valuable opinions free of charge I'll add that for safety I prefer swing guards on large Coke bottles that lack a copperhead bolster hump. However, if a plain large Coke has gorgeous stag I forget safety.

I've never seen a diet Coke with a swing guard or a copperhead bolster hump. Diet Cokes are uncommon. Diet Cokes are not in the reference section here. The diet Cokes I've seen were all special additions or club knives. Were diet Cokes a standard pattern in the past? Hmmmm ... diet Coke works. ::tu::
The only Diet Cokes I’ve seen is the Centennial versio and ABCA, but I know very little - I’m sure more experienced collectors have seen more.

I have heard you can get them in vending machines.

My diet Coke is the ABCA knife with tan jigged bone that is similar to the bone on two blade Cheetah pattern jack knives made about the same time. The Cheetah's handle pattern is 11 so the jacks are 6211 1/2 SS. A long tme ago 6211 jacks were standard production. The club 6211 jacks made affordable recreations of the scarce originals. Did the club diet Cokes recreate scarce originals?

I expect the name diet Coke will fade away with this thread but we can have fun with for another reply or two.
