yellow (plastic?) Coca Cola crate - 3/2/2008 12:48:54 AM    morbious_fod   Posts: 651 Joined: 3/4/2007 From: The backwoods of the backwoods, Virginia Status: offline We have all seen them, the yellow wooden Coca Cola crates, but what is the deal with this one? It is made up of a thick black plastic, almost resin like, and the brand info and size is embossed in the plastic with the paint applied later. There is no town name to speak of, but embossed on the bottem is "The Richardson Company" with Patent Pending under that. There are two circles with numbers inbossed in them on the bottem as well the first is "1277" and the other reads "I R 59" which I have pictured below. So what is the story with this crate? Is it an early attempt to convert the crates over to plastic? Is this some type of prototype? I have never seen anything like it, so what is this Coke guys (and gals)?   Attachment (1) < Message edited by morbious_fod -- 3/2/2008 1:01:48 AM > Post #: 1

It looks as though it was metal in the picture. I have a solid embossed red Coke case, only with 24 inserts made of the same sort material I guess (a plastic or resin of some sort). I noticed it while getting a wooden one down for a friend of mine that wanted to mount one on the wall to display some old fishing reels he has.I believe it is embossed From Detroit Coca Cola on the sides, plus some other embossing, can not think of what is all embossed on it off the top of my head. Not sure of the date either. < Message edited by L C -- 3/2/2008 11:52:38 AM > (in reply to morbious_fod) Post #: 5
