Description :

Set of three branded wooden soda crates from the 1950s–1960s, a defining era in American beverage advertising when wooden carriers doubled as functional shipping pieces and bold retail display elements. This lot includes two Coca‑Cola crates with classic red stenciling and one Canada Dry crate with green branding. Each crate shows the authentic patina, surface wear, and coloration valued by advertising and Americana collectors.

The grouping highlights mid‑century construction features such as slatted wood sides, reinforced corners, and original bottle dividers where present. Strong typography and visible age make these crates ideal for display in soda advertising collections, retail‑themed décor, or vintage merchandising installations.

– Coca‑Cola crate, approx. 8.5 L x 12 W x 4 H – Canada Dry crate, approx. 6 L x 10.5 W x 9 H – Coca‑Cola crate, approx. 7 L x 12 W x 5.5 H

Condition

Wear consistent with commercial use in the 1950s–1960s, including surface marks, fading to printed branding, and patina to the wood. Dividers intact where present.
