The crate has wonderful aged character, with classic Coca-Cola script branding on the long sides and “Coca-Cola Bottling Company, Los Angeles” marked on the end panel. Metal corner straps and cutout side handles add to its authentic utilitarian appeal.

Included are assorted Coca-Cola contour glass bottles, some with holiday labels including Christmas 1995 and Christmas 1997 examples, creating a fun, nostalgic, collected-over-time presentation. The combination of the weathered wood crate, original-style Coca-Cola script, and glass bottles makes this an excellent decorative piece for a bar, kitchen, game room, shop display, or Americana collection.

The crate displays beautifully on its own and also works well as functional tabletop storage or as part of a larger Coca-Cola advertising grouping. Cooler shown in some photos is not included. Listing is for the crate, bottles, and carriers only.

The printed Coca-Cola graphics remain visible and display well. The bottle caps show expected wear and marks consistent with age, and the labels remain intact.
