MY FIRST COCA COLA TRAY

I don't have very much in way of a Coca Cola collection. I have this 14.75" x 10.75" serving tray and a few other items - a 6pack of Coca Cola that I bought in 86 - they were sold as a promo for the 86 Winter Olympics in Calgary Alberta Canada. I put it under the tree every Christmas and it always brings a compliment or two every year.
Oh - ya - I have ...........a Barbie Doll ......unopened....2002 Coca Cola - the box is about a foot tall. I put that under the tree every year too....
I have a few other things......a Santa AD from a magazine......1949. I framed that...........and yes...again with the Christmas haha.

I bought this serving tray at a small rustic antique store that was only open for a few months here in Nanaimo BC Canada. The seller told me it's 1940's.
Unfortunately one of the areas that is worn - there are a few as you can see - is where the date was.

Even though it has some wear and a little rust here and there it is such a beautiful piece that I had to buy it. I love the colours and art work....so Christmasy.

Is there someone here that knows about this tray and may be able to help me date it correctly?

Thanks,
Gary
