Coca-Cola Tray "Menu Girl 1953"

This Coca-Cola soda tray is known as the “Menu Girl” tray, produced in 1953.  The tray shows a young woman at a counter holding a Coca-Cola bottle with a menu card in front of her. This tray version was introduced in 1953 and was distributed for a few years after that. Usually, the Coca-Cola tray series had a red inner rim but this tray depicts several sports themes on the rim. It reads “Thirst knows no season” and “Have a Coke”.  The words “Trade Mark Reg. US Pat Off” appear below the words Coca-Cola in the trademark, typical for the time period of 1941-1960’s.

This version of the Menu Girl soda tray is very common but is still very desirable. 

The image is bright and cheerful, with nice details along the edges, and is still pretty, despite the wear.

I believe that it is an original production tray, not a newer reproduction, due to the wear. Some areas are still in good condition.
