1925 "Party Girl' Coca Cola Tray! Beautiful!
Hey guys went to a ton of antique stores today! Found this Coke tray. I'm a huge Coca Cola collector ever since I found an old bottle at an estate sale and have been on the hunt for a tray recently. I found this gem... it was not cheap however. They wanted $360 for it and I got it for $200. I know I didn't get a steal and maybe I could've found one on eBay. But just holding it and looking at it was amazing, something you don't get to do on eBay. The color hasn't even begun to fade, look at the blue of the hat! It looks as if it was never even used before! Except for that one darned scratch toward the bottom and the usual side chipping. Even the bottom of this thing is great! This will definitely be going in my personal collection. I hope to find another one day for extremely cheap at an estate sale somewhere. Also, the store i was at before this had a repro of the same exact tray haha!
How would you all display this piece? I was thinking of having an acrylic case made for it?
