Title: Coke fishtail rack
Post by: on March 22, 2003, 11:43:30 pm
Can anyone tell me about a coke rack I came across???
It was Teal with a Red Coke Fishtail logo on it (it was not added, This was Original), It stood about 4 1/2' to 5' Tall, by about 2' Wide, and looked sort of like a display rack, The wire "shelves" were spring loaded, and it seamed as if you would pull them down to put coke 6-packs or crates on them. The only thing is that the shelves did not stop at 90 degrees, with very little force they opened to about 120 degrees before stoping, The Rack was in good shape, I would like to know more about it as I am interested in buying it.
I hope this is not too confusing, Thanks for any info you can give me.

Hey TJ,
I'm not the most knowledgeable on 60's display racks but I would think the price for the style you described would be around $75 - $125
As far as the travel distance of the wire shelf, these are designed to be stacked from the bottom up so the shelf above will rest on the bottles of the shelf below until the last case is placed on the top shelf. As the cases/six packs are removed, the shelf will spring up to allow a fresh case/six packs to be available...
Does the sign say anything other than Coca-Cola?
A picture would also help...

Hi Jim,
Thanks for the previous info
I am giong to try to post some pictures for you, let me know if you feel the same on the value, based on the fishtail logo....I would say this is from the 1960's?
There are no other markings on it that I can find.
Also it appears the wire shelves are adjustable by loosening & tightning the screws
Hope this works...here goes
