Vintage Coca-Cola returnable bottle carrier featuring the unusual white/cream molded plastic design with original black metal center strap.
The carrier is marked on the underside with Patent Des. 189,601, 2,301,694, and 2,871,055, with “Other Patents Pending.” Patent 2,871,055 was issued in 1959 to inventor Irving D. Glazer and assigned to Dura Pak Corp.
The carrier features original Coca-Cola “Coke” graphics and the wording “RETURN BOTTLES IN CARRIER.” A great piece of vintage Coca-Cola advertising and bottling memorabilia.
Condition: Used vintage condition with age-appropriate discoloration, staining, surface dirt, scuffs, and wear. There are chips/breaks to some of the bottle-retaining sections, as shown in the photos. The black metal center strap is present. Please examine all photos carefully for the exact condition.
This is an unusual and collectible early Coca-Cola bottle carrier and would make a great addition to a Coca-Cola, soda advertising, or vintage bottle collection.
Please note: This is a vintage/used item and is being sold as-is. The photos are part of the description.
