Old Coca Cola Hutchinson Style Carrier / Crate dating back to I would assume the 1890s thru sometime around 1904 or 1905. Been wanting a decent example of one of these for awhile finally came across one at a decent price and decent condition. Just like sharing with all you wonderful people here! Enjoy!

Nice one! I think it's more like 1920-30's. Here's an interesting article about the full depth style Coca-Cola cases:

Thanks daddynobucks!
It's a cool old crate. You don't see that broken logo on anything else (that I can think of).
When did red letters on yellow background end for Coca-Cola crates/wooden carriers? I found one in a group (I was so dang amazed to find one crate circa-1900 that is not even supposed to exist because the company combined for only about a year) of crates from 1900-1960.
1950's ended the yellow wood period, then yellow plastic in the 60's, then red wave logo crates in the 70's.
Thanks. :)
Nice case with awesome paint
Thanks Southjerseyboy! These guys never cease me with the memories, I have toruble getting out the door in the morning more or less remembering all this vast knowledge.
Ran across this one on The eBay. Apparently yellow wood crates survived into the 70's. Well, there are exceptions to every rule!
