Flagship of Refreshment is a promotional moniker and slogan long associated with Coca-Cola. It was frequently used in the branding and advertising of regional bottling companies (such as the Akron and Washington Coca-Cola Bottling operations) to market the original.
From the Akron Coca-Cola Bottling Co. in Ohio This is a very rare item. A few of the bottles are up for sale but not the crates. If you can find any, please message me, I really would like to see it and what they have to say about it. Thank you for looking. Check out pictures and message me with any questions.
Up for sale is a highly collectible, rare vintage green plastic soda bottle crate from the Akron OH Coca-Cola Bottling Co. It features the distinct white applied graphics reading "Flagship of Refreshment - Akron, Ohio 44308" along with a split interior divider grid. While the glass "Flagship" bottles from this 1970s Akron run appear on the market occasionally, the plastic delivery crates are incredibly scarce and almost never turn up for sale. Perfect piece of regional Ohio advertising history or Coca-Cola memorabilia. Condition: Good vintage condition. No cracks in the heavy-duty plastic structure. The white lettering graphics are highly legible and intact on the side panels as shown in the photos.
