Vintage 10-Gallon Wood Coca Cola Syrup Barrel 1915-30s Click on any photo to see a larger image .The red finish on this 10-gallon Coca Cola Syrup barrel is as good as you will find. The iron straps great looking too and the barrel is sound and sturdy. It has the original side plug. And the barrel is numbered on the side (C110323) below the plug. Too bad so much of the paper label is missing (estimated about 50%). These were used from about 1915 into the 1930s, our research finds.The barrel is marked 10 gallons on the label and you can see that interesting content label including "coca leaves (with cocaine removed)". SIZE: 10 GALLON. 21" tall x about 15" diameter (12-1/2") at end. WEIGHT: A little more than 15 pounds. CONDITION: Quite good for its age. It has the original red stained finish. The iron straps show great patina and tight wrap. About 50% of the paper label is still t The side plug is t T is one open tap hole and a second one plugged on the label end, with a tiny hole next to it that has a raised plug (its slightly smaller than the thickness of a pencil.) Not sure why t were two tap-size holes, but perhaps it was fitted with a different tap at one time. This makes it an interesting variation. Sounds like a small piece of wood is rolling around inside, probably from one of the plugs. A great addition to your Coca Cola collection .

Our customers are important to us! We want your repeat business! Satisfaction Guaranteed! Our Policies: International Buyers Please Note: Import duties, taxes and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges. These charges are the buyers responsibility. Please check with your countrys customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding/buying. These charges are normally collected by the delivering freight (shipping) company or when you pick the item up - do not confuse them for additional shipping charges. We do not mark merchandise values below value or mark items as gifts-US and International government regulations prohibit such behavior. PAYMENT : Buyer pays shipping and insurance. Payment must be made within 7 days of end of listing. We accept Paypal and soon will be adding some additional electronic payment services. In most cases, we combine mulitple purchases to save on shipping for you!SHIPPING: We pack exceptionally well and ship quickly. We ship by USPS Priority Mail or by UPS Ground in the USA, both insured and trackable methods. USPS Priority Mail costs $4.80 and up, plus insurance starting at $1.70. So many items cost as little as $6.50. We use that primarily for small, inexpensive items. However, we pass along our business discount so it costs even less! In some instances we discount the discount! We generally use UPS Ground for more expensive, large, heavy items. We charge actual shipping, so if the fee we list is more than actual shipping, we refund the difference. In no instance, do we charge more. In some instances, you may pay less than the actual shipping cost! UPS can be delivered only to street addresses, so any item sent to a post office box must go by USPS and we have found they charge significantly more. For international shipments, we use insured Priority Mail International or Express Mail International. NOTE: We used to charge a very small handling fee to offset our rising materials costs. But even with fast-rising fuel costs, we have eliminated that handling charge without reducing the high quality of our packing or speed of shipping. We would like you to be a regular customer!
