When collections collide... I also collect soldering irons and guns. This Supreme Soldering Iron was advertised as the first soldering iron designed specifically for radio repair. In 1937, an article was published in the October issue of Radio News about the new "Suprme Soldering Iron" designed for radio servicing. A Coca-Cola check from 1944. It's not to Supreme, but it is from the Coca-Cola bottler in Greenwood Mississippi the home of Supreme Instruments and part of my Coca-Cola collection.
