Coca-Cola: Rare 1903 "Hilda with The Glass" Serving Tray In Fine Condition. From the first decade of the 20th Century, 14 trays have been identified as having been issued at that time. From 1903, featuring actress and model Hilda Clark, who was the face of Coca-Cola from 1895-1903, a fine example of the 9¾" tray. We note two small areas of oxidation below the left arm, a few scattered spots, minor scratches and overall age toning. But overall this is a fine example of this 116-year-old tin tray, the floral accents and details surrounding the edges particularly nice - a prize in any collection.
From The Private Collection of James Harrison Ring.
