Vintage Coca-Cola Diner Scene Tin Tray
This is a rectangular metal serving tray featuring a nostalgic 1950s Americana diner scene. The central graphic depicts an art deco-style 'DINER' with various classic automobiles parked in front, most notably a yellow Coca-Cola delivery truck, a red Chevrolet Corvette, and a white 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air. The tray is constructed from lithographed tin with a bright red raised rim and a yellow inner border. At the top center of the rim, the iconic Coca-Cola script logo is printed in yellow. The artwork displays a scenic landscape with trees under a blue sky with soft white clouds. Physically, the tray appears to be in good vintage condition with vibrant colors and minimal visible surface scratches. There is a slight patina of wear consistent with age, particularly along the inner edges and corners where the metal is raised. Small markings near the bottom right of the image suggest a copyright or manufacturer's signature, likely indicating a mid-to-late 20th-century reproduction of earlier advertising styles. The tray demonstrates standard industrial lithographic craftsmanship, intended as both a functional serving piece and a collectible decorative item.
