The Frank Rider Collection - Spring Classic Part 1 - Day 2
Lot 1115:
Description
This expansive collection celebrates the charm of the American soda fountain with a mix of vintage glassware and commemorative advertising. The lot features three large lithographed serving trays depicting the classic “Hamilton King 1909 Girl” artwork; our inspection confirms these are commemorative reproductions manufactured between 1971 and 1972, rather than original turn-of-the-century pieces. The collection is further bolstered by an extensive assortment of glassware, including pressed-mold sundae dishes, classic Coca-Cola tumblers, and specialty fountain-style tumblers. Additional highlights include a novelty Pepsi-Cola radio (marked “Premium Resources International”), a vintage glass jar filled with “Johnston Cold Fudge” drinking straws, and several boxes of vintage straw brands like “Marcal Extra Long” and “Sweetheart.” The lot also contains functional fountain hardware, including metal sundae glass holders—one featuring a unique side spout—and a set of modern replica Coca-Cola “free drink” tokens. The items exhibit expected secondary market character, with minor surface wear on the trays, a light aged patina on the metal hardware, and occasional light surface scratching or manufacturing variations consistent with authentic vintage glassware. H 12″, W 24″, D 24″ Please see photos for condition.
