Title: Miscellaneous things for sale Post by: jholmgren on January 08, 2016, 12:12:18 pm Hi Folks,
Is anyone out there interested in a couple of metal service trays or some other random gas/oil containers? If so, please PM me with an offer on what you like. Selling these for a friend, I honestly don't know their value. I don't want to see her to get ripped off. Picture of the other stuff here: http://littlebluespitfire.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemId=10493 Here are the serving trays: (http://littlebluespitfire.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=10496&g2_serialNumber=3) (http://littlebluespitfire.com/gallery/main.php?g2_view=core.DownloadItem&g2_itemId=10500&g2_serialNumber=3) Thanks, Jim Title: Re: Miscellaneous things for sale Post by: Chedki on January 08, 2016, 01:38:44 pm The Johnny Weissmuller Coke trays have been reproduced. Don't know if this one is a repro or not.

It appears that it is. I would need to see a better picture. The repros are easy to tell in person. A real one in that condition would be worth 300.00 - 400.00.Title: Re: Miscellaneous things for sale Post by: ajf5577 on January 08, 2016, 02:05:51 pm The markings on the lower part of the tray should say coca-cola co. 1934, american artworks, inc. coshocton o. made in the U.S.A.
If that is there, it's probably not a Repro, which is good. Title: Re: Miscellaneous things for sale Post by: jholmgren on January 08, 2016, 02:13:13 pm Thanks for the info guys, she's going to be bummed if its a repro.
I zoomed in on the pic and it has @ COCA COLA CO. 1934 in the border, but no other markings that I can see in the pic she sent me. Title: Re: Miscellaneous things for sale Post by: Eric on January 08, 2016, 02:52:01 pm Check ebay to compare and be sure but even the repro is marked (C) COCA COLA CO. 1934 not sure on the rest of the wording... a friend had a repro and the colors and images are just not done well.. looks good from a distance but up close the image is just not as crisp as an original.
But again check ebay or maybe someone here has an original that can chime in.

Looking at them on eBay the one that I'm fairly confident is original has a black back and a green inner border where this one is brown. Checking on the color of the back, but I'm 95% sure its a repop. Bummer.

Great help - thanks! Sadly, I am convinced this is a 1970's repop. Thanks for the help everyone! Title: Re: Miscellaneous things for sale Post by: ajf5577 on January 08, 2016, 08:44:35 pm Yup, Sorry. It always gets your hopes up to find something cool like that in the wild.
That yellow back is a dead give away. |
