Description: This Coca-Cola wooden bottle crate from the mid-20th century features metal corner reinforcements and the classic red "Drink Coca-Cola" print. The construction is made of solid wood with metal corner braces and integrated side handles for easy handling. On its sides, it bears the original advertising print "DRINK COCA-COLA EXPORT CORP" and an embossed mark referencing the manufacturer and beverage distribution. The front of the crate reveals more detailed shipping information, helping to precisely determine its history and purpose. The red inscription "24 BOTTLES" clearly indicates that the crate was made for transporting a standard package of 24 bottles. Technical specifications include the text "WT. 43", indicating the total weight of a full crate in pounds (approx. 19.5 kg), and "CU. 1.2", specifying the volume in cubic feet. These data were crucial for proper loading into trucks or trains. The internal arrangement of the crate is complete. A grid system divides the interior space with wooden partitions into 24 individual compartments, arranged in a classic 4 × 6 grid. Each glass bottle had its secure place, preventing them from knocking against each other and breaking during transport. Today, this wooden crate serves as a collector's item, vintage decoration, or functional storage space in an interior.
