 Comments:

From the Collection of Mark Rogers.  Coors Golden (non-alcoholic beer) was manufactured by Coors from 1933 to 1945.  Appears this tray was produced at the very tail end of Prohibition, perhaps as start up beer in anticipation of full alcohol brands.  Please contact us if you have more information about this great tray.

 Comments:

From the Collection of Mark Rogers.  This appears to be a retro tray produced in the 1970's celebrating their near-beer from right at the end of prohibition.  This tray is seldom seen as a tray, though we have seen it recently as a tacker.

Internet auction image.  The last of the plastic Coors trays that we will share here.  An obvious ode to their first tray.

  Go to the  CO Geo Page  here if you would like to see the large volume of plastic and vinyl trays Coors produced and we have tried to capture.
