Seller Notes: “Very Good-Excellent overall vint cond: In simply extraordinary shape. A crazy good Hires Root Beer ... “Very Good-Excellent overall vint cond: In simply extraordinary shape. A crazy good Hires Root Beer post WWII, mid-20th c vint wood box advrtsng crate, w/just incredible, wonderfully opaque, saturated & vivid blk ink stamped graphic iconography & intact tin edge reinforcing stacking strips. Produced in Gloucester, MA by the Merchant Box Co for Hires Root Beer, circa 1947-1962. It'd be asking a bit too much to ask for or worse yet, expect a now nearly 60-75 yr old wood box soda crate to remain in much better cond than this, unless perhaps it was hermetically sealed in the Harry Houdini Museum, waiting for someone in the 21st c to open it w/a key. Clearly stored away for all these yrs in a cool, dry place & away from direct sunlight, as the strong blk ink of the wood box crate's sidewall, familiar stylized typography, is nearly undiminished & close to how it was orig constituted by the Gloucester box maker after the end of WWII. You won't find one better. An absolute killer. Wow & wow!”
