Coca-Cola: Two (2) Rare Pre-1910 Tip Trays, "Hilda with The Glass" and "Juanita" 4" Versions. Two rare Coca-Cola tip trays pre-1910 1.) A very fine "Hilda with The Glass" featuring popular personality Hilda Clark. Manufactured by Charles W. Shonk Co., this is a very fine example of this 4" tray issued in 1903. We note only one scratch to raised lip of tray, one tiny spot of rust on the bottom of the letter "E" in "Refreshing" and a few tiny flea bites along outer edge. The central litho image is rich and vibrant and quite a desirable piece for any level of collector. 2.) From 1906 is the "Juanita" tray, an illustration from Wolf & Co. that was used on a popular piece of sheet music of the same name. Tray was manufactured by the N.Y. Metal Ceiling Co. of New York and is in good or better condition. We note wear and chips to outermost edge, some scratches, one spot on left sleeve and very slight fading. Nevertheless a scarce piece and very collectible. Estimated Value $500 - UP
From The Private Collection of James Harrison Ring.
