Ultra Rare Original rope handle! One of the best, brightly colored and clearly screen printed ones that I have see over the years. Wear is commensurate with the age of this piece but overall very nice!
Uncleaned and original - some dirt can be found inside bottles and on crate as found and as shown. A beginning wood split adorns one side and adds greatly to the patina. Please see all pics as they are part of the description. These wood crates replaced the metal case as the metal was needed for the war effort.Coca-Cola is known the world over because of its familiar red script logo and of course, its distinctive green glass bottle. Coca-Cola with some of the world's most recognizable logos, colors and marketing, owes a portion of that instant recognition to good, old Putnam County Indiana. The reason for the original Coke bottle's green hue has nothing to do with product planning.
Apparently, the coloration was simply the result of minerals present in sand from Putnam County. The shape of the bottle is an interesting tale all its own.
Coke bottle's shape owes its origins to a 1915 contest the company sponsored among its suppliers to create a bottle that looked like nothing else on the market. This item is in the category "Collectibles\Advertising\Soda\Coca-Cola\Carriers & Caddies".
