Description
Vintage Coca-Cola advertising serving tray featuring the iconic Norman Rockwell illustration titled Out Fishin'. The rectangular metal tray features a black border with the Coca-Cola script logo at the top and OUT FISHIN' at the bottom. The central image depicts a young boy fishing with his dog, originally created by Rockwell for a 1935 Coca-Cola calendar. Dimensions are approximately 13 inches by 10.5 inches.
Key Features
Combines two highly collectible brands: Coca-Cola advertising memorabilia and Norman Rockwell Americana art. Classic nostalgic imagery that appeals to vintage decor enthusiasts.
Authenticity Indicators
Standard lithograph printing on stamped metal consistent with licensed promotional reproductions from the mid-to-late 20th century. High confidence in authenticity as a licensed 1970s or later reproduction piece rather than an ultra-rare 1935 original.
Flaws to Note
Surface scratching on the painted metal, edge wear, and minor paint loss or rusting around the outer rim. The integrity of the central artwork is mostly preserved.
