Thanks for looking!
These were pulled from an old mans shop basement where he kept everything for the past 30 years that he was in there. My buddy who had his shop next door to him, offered to help the widowed wife clear everything out when her husband passed. She told him to throw everything out, she no longer wanted anything. She offered to pay him for his help, which he graciously declined and paid her for what he had kept. He rescued these as he thought that they would make an interesting conversation piece in his house. Since then, he has decided to down size and move to a smaller home and wanted these to go to someone that would appreciate them.
Included is the wood box with metal corners. Each coca cola bottle is 6 1/2 ounces and green each with the city and state on the bottom. The wooden box is yellow with "Drink Coca-Cola in Bottles" in red. It is worn off, as you can see in the photos. The bottles themselves are not in the best of shape, only one that I noticed had a chunk taken out of the bottom (5th pic, very top right bottle). It doesnt go the whole way though, it is on the bottom rim. All the bottles have a white ring below the Coca-cola logo, I would assume it was from the bottles rubbing up against each other. Some of these rings are darker than others; majority of them are dark. Also there are the same rings at the bottom of some of the bottles as well. As for the wooden case, for what I am assuming is pretty old, is in decent condition since you can still see the original yellow paint as well as some of the red lettering. Some of the metal on the box is bent as well as rusted. On the inside of the box on the outer pieces has the same "Drink Coca Cola in Bottles" written on the inside, however it also has a logo print as well. From what I can make out is says:
Chat??? Box
9 Built Like A ????? 38
Made By
Chattanooga
Box & Lumber CO
The "9 38" Makes be truely believe that the box is from 1938.
Everything is dusty/dirty and could use a good cleaning and since I do not know how to correctly clean it I am not going to attempt to in case what ever I do could lesson the value of this lot. Offering low to go, everything will be packaged safely with shipping insurance via UPS which also includes a tracking number. I will not package this until payment clears, so if you would like additional photos they can easily be taken.
