The Coca Cola pencil school case was a great promotional item put out around 1937. The set includes 2 pencils, 1 combo red/blue pencil, 1 penholder, 1 penpoint, 1 ruler, 2 small blotters and 1 eraser. The eraser is hard to find in good condtion, and in some cases at all. After all the years, the eraser is either missing or has rotted to the case itself. My eraser is wrapped in plastic wrap and will remain that way!

Cool item and great condition. A "must have" for Coca-Cola collectors. Mine doesn't have the contents printed on the inner flap of case. And the ruler is printed a little differently ("Drink" is atop Coca-Cola, not to the left). I didn't know there were variations. And you're right about the erasers, the one in my kit has broken down over the years.
Thanks to blunderbuss2, pickrknows, mustangtony, officialfuel, BELLIN68 and EJW-54! Also, thanks to Daddy_Nobucks for the comment!
