This is an unusual combination of categories... Coca Cola, Oklahoma State University, and an ash tray. It appears this came from one of the OSU dining facilities before smoking was banned inside. Because of that, it would have to be at least 20 years old - possibly much older - and it is in excellent condition. Very well may have never been used.
