 This is a Coca-Cola Watch Fob from 1907, a time when Coke was available for 5 cents. This little item is 4.1 cm x 2.8 cm in size and is made out of sterling silver. The background is a Coca-Cola blotter from 1937. Both of these items are part of a small personal collection of Coca-Cola memorabilia.

To make this macro, I used a Hoya +4 Close-up filter and a Hoya +1 Close-up filter. I used a tripod mount and a wireless remote shutter release. Lighting was provided by a simple desklamp held to the left side of the watch fob just a few degrees above the surface.

Photoshop CS processing included adjustment layers for curves and a 5% opacity channel mixer. After flattening the layers, I resized and applied USM.
