29-2 or pre 5 screw… the dilemma!!

[Model29-26.5]

Well.. the force is getting stronger..
An old one with pristine cokes.. it's calling.
Next year I'll be looking once my current list is complete..
So, pre 29 or a 60's 29-2 with cokes?
I'm thinking more the latter.
I hope I will get over this sickness as many here call it.
These things are not baseball cards…
Why do I want things that a short while ago I never even knew existed??

I'd go with the Cokes myself. S prefix 6.5" is a work of art!

I'd go for the -2 w/cokes
I'm on lookout for a nice 4" myself

Just to muddy the waters for your decision, here is my very early -2 from 1963.

Yes, some of us are enablers.

YES, as in a 5 screw AND a -2 w/cokes?

My advice would be both, or all. Good luck.

4 inch 1956 5 screw
6.5 inch 1957 4 screw
no dash
-1
6.5 inch -2

Jeff,
You made my mind up for me, but this will take a while longer.
Will acquire over the next two or three years.

Need another pair of Cokes plus one more....get the full 6 pack!

5 screws & Cokes are as good as they come.

Can't go wrong with Cokes & a no dash either.

Cokes on a 29-4 are nice too.

I'd go 5 screw first.

The Pre-29 would be my first choice especially if it's in your price range. They don't get any cheaper.
If the 29-2 fits the economy better just do it. The condition for me is the crucial denominator.
Have fun, you won't be disappointed.

I want them all! All in good time
