    EARLY MOXIE WOOD BOX SODA CRATE - Rare Design - New Hampshire -Coca Cola Bottle. Condition is "Used".
    Really great early Moxie crate. Very, very hard to find design. I searched high and low and can’t find another single example of this exact crate. The word “Drink” is on top of the word “Moxie” on 99.999% of crates. I could find only one where it was on the side of “Moxie” like this crate. That crate is slightly different otherwise though. I doubt if you’ll find another like this ever. It’s certainly been around the block more than one time but structurally it’s still solid. There are cracks and stains here and there and a large gap in the bottom of the crate but it still displays wonderfully. I actually used it to transport heavy cement statues home from the estate I got it from. Purchased from an MA farm with roots back to the mid 1700’s. The crate itself originally belonged to Lafayette Beverage Inc. of Manchester, NH. It’s a really great rare piece that’s bound to be a cherished addition to any Moxie or early soda collection. It has more character than you can shake a stick at. I’ll ship whatever method is most affordable with tracking. Could be USPS Priority, Fedex Ground, or UPS. Thanks!
