Wow.. nice survivor... Congrats on the find. We need a thread on Crates.Would love to see who all has what.. Older crates are becoming hard to find in good shape.This one, the wood sure looks good. Would look killer next to a RC cooler full of period bottles.

carling Nice box. It came from ... Nehi Bottling Company 1240 Broadway Albany, New York The earliest date I can find for them is 1940. Here's what the building looks like today ...

carling Here's a little something to go-with your box. Notice the swirly lines are similar. Maybe they had the box made in recognition of this award. The snippet is from ... The Times Record ~ Troy, New York ~ June 17, 1947
