I'd say very early 1970s. I've seen more than a few trivets made in the same style. In this case it was never meant to be licensed to a specific brand, but if the script, shape and colors insinuate Coca-Cola, nothing would please the manufacturer more. Probably sold in a boutique or catalogue back then.
Thank you PostRetro . It is a functioning bottle opener so that is good :-)
Thank you ttom :-)
