Coca-Cola Rare "Hilda with The Glass", Large Oval Serving Tray, 1903. Rare, antique Coca-Cola oval serving tray, the largest of the classic trays, measuring 15¼ x 18½" and manufactured by the Charles Shonk Company. Issued in 1903, tray is highly prized by collectors and is referenced as "Hilda with The Glass (Pewter Holder)" or "Big Hilda". This tray is in fair to good condition. It most definitely exhibits wear, areas of oxidation and age fading, especially around the perimeter. That said, Hilda is lovely with her rosy cheeks, the pastel colors in her dress, chrysanthemums surrounding her portrait and her glass of Coca-Cola, all quite evident. A treasure in spite of these issues and quite difficult to find. Estimated Value $2,000 - UP
From The Private Collection of James Harrison Ring.
