Collection of four Coca-Cola advertising change trays dating from the early 1900s. Each of these decorative trays pictures a beautiful young woman enjoying a nice, refreshing glass of Coke. All of the trays also bear the company"™s trademark slogan, "Drink Coca-Cola," in either the central image or along the rim. Coca-Cola issued twelve different designs between 1900 and 1920.
