Description:

There are some slight questions as to the age and authenticity of this piece due to the fact that the bottle appears to be later than a 1930s or 1940s style bottle. The shade topper on the piece and the knob do appear authentic in every respect. The Coca-Cola decals are very evenly spaced and exhibit crazing that can only come about from true age in our opinion. There is a man's name - "S. P. MURREL" engraved nicely in block lettering on the shade topper. If it can be proven that he was a Coke employee, that would certainly serve to authenticate the base and the shade topper, leaving only the question of the bottle. The executive version of this piece was a chrome-plated item, which is represented exactly by the shade topper and the base, both with a bakelite knob and matching bakelite feet on the bottom tray. The lot includes an old brochure promoting executive pullmatch ashtrays. Condition: 8.5 - 9.0, Excellent. Dimensions: 7" x 6 - 1/2" x 6 - 1/2".

Another all chrome version and was likely/possibly used by company executives. This bottle detail appears to be a more stable plating process and this example could date to the 1940's since "TM" is beneath the logo. Very clean example overall…
