Coca-Cola 75th Anniversary Commemorative Bottle Suspended in Lucite

This is a vintage commemorative item featuring a 6.5-ounce 'Georgia green' contoured glass Coca-Cola bottle permanently encased in a thick, rectangular solid block of clear Lucite or acrylic. The bottle within is filled with liquid and features the iconic white script 'Coca-Cola' logo with 'Trade-mark' printed below. Above the logo, the glass is embossed with 'Return for Refund'. The bottle is topped with a classic red metal crown cap. This specific type of desktop display was often issued as a commemorative piece for anniversaries, such as the 75th anniversary observed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, or as corporate awards for bottling plants. The Lucite block appears to be in good condition with minor surface scratches consistent with age and handling. The liquid level within the bottle appears stable with no signs of leakage into the surrounding acrylic. The transparency of the block is high, showing off the polished edges and the refraction of the bottle inside. These pieces are valued for their 'pop art' aesthetic and their intersection of industrial design and corporate history, often serving as heavy paperweights or shelf decorative items.
