Here is a recent thrift shop purchase, they wanted a whole $12 so it was well worth the risk. The metal handle is old, cardboard is old, tape that is holding it together is old. Perplexing part, the Delicious and Refreshing slogan was used in 1904, according to the Coca Cola company 1923 was the year it introduced the 6 pack carrier. I must have to assume this to be a 1 of a kind that someone crafted for themselves way back in the day. Anyone here ever heard or seen one of these before?? Any feedback about item as with any of my items is always appreciated.
Merry Christmas to all and I hope I am not flooding this wonderful site with to much of my crap.

Many times the easiest way to date a piece is by the logo and trademark detail. Here's a dynamite site, enjoy. Delicious and Refreshing, while a formally introduced slogan in 1904, they are two words used to describe the product on advertising since the founding in 1886. Printed on many items over many years.
