Starting around 1900, Coca-Cola began manufacturing metal tin-plate serving and change trays, initially round and oval, and later rectangular. The trays primarily portrayed women, and often the images were the same ones used on the previous year’s calendars and other advertising. Most trays from the 1920s had a green and brown border, and those from the 1930s had red borders.
Coca-Cola collectibles are hugely popular worldwide and range from super pricey signs, machines, and coolers to more affordable advertising items such as trays, calendars, thermometers and clocks. Not to mention, of course, Coke bottles themselves!
