1921 COCA-COLA TIN LITHOGRAPH ADVERTISING TRAY - SUMMER GIRL - FINE CONDITION

Description

Fantastic, original and very rare, 1921 Coca-Cola Tin Lithographed Serving Tray known as the "1921 Summer Girl" tray in outstanding, orginal condition.
This wonderful oblong tray measures 10 1/2" x 13 1/4" and pictures a beautiful young girl wearing a nearly see through Summer dress and wide brimmed hat. She looks over her left shoulder and holds a Soda Fountain Glass of Coca-Cola in her right hand and is obviously enjoying her refreshing Coke.
The tray is marked on the inner, decorative, gilt border "Copyrighted 1921 The Coca-Cola Co." / "Made in U.S.A." / "The H. D. Beach Co., Coshocton, O."
This beautiful Coca-Cola Tray is not a reproduction, reissue or restrike but is an original 1921 Serving Tray manufactured by the H. D. Beach Company for Coca-Cola in 1921.
The tray is in excellent condition - the lithography is bright and vibrant and the Tray displays nicely. The image area is exceptionally well preserved with no scratches, surface wear surface scuffing, physical damage or repairs of any kind. There is a tiny printing blemish on the Girl’s right cheek and 2 small and shallow, unobtrusive dimple shaped bends at the center of the very bottom edge. The brilliant shine of the surface has a patterning in the upper left hand quadrant that appears have been caused by the original packing material – this is only visible when the Tray is held at an acute angle to a light source. The raised rim is also very well preserved and there is some nicks to the surface lithography on the gold colored, rolled rim border. Overall this VERY hard to come by Coke Serving Tray is one of the finest condition examples we have come across in 41+ years and it displays beautifully.
A very rare and stunningly beautiful, 1921 Coca-Cola Summer Girl Serving Tray and a fantastic addition to any collection!!! !

Important Notes about Shipping Charges:
The amount quoted for Shipping & Handling is calculated by eBay and is equal to the EXACT amount charged by the Post Office plus a .00 "packing fee" - the .00 fee is our only compensation for the virgin packing materials we use on all of our professionally packaged boxes as well as our cost for the salaried help that does most of our packing - as I am sure you can see, we make NO profit on the Shipping charges and, in fact, our costs are usually greater than the .00 fee. Please contact us if there are any issues regarding the cost of shipping.
