Coca Cola Series 4 Trading Cards

Left side, top to bottom: The first card is of a cardboard cutout from 1928. The second is a 1948 ad used in South Africa. The bottom is from a 1918 calendar.

Right side, top to bottom: The top card is a 1948 poster from Mexico. The middle card is from 1949, and the bottom one is a 1948 poster.

Left: The top card is from a 1922 ad; the middle one is from 1915, and the bottom one is from a 1923 ad.

Right: The top is a cardboard cutout from 1928; the middle card is the same kind of thing, but from 1923; and the bottom is another cardboard cutout, this one from 1940.

A bunch of neat-looking women on these six cards.

Left: The top card is from 1945; the middle card is from the same year, while the bottom card is from 1953.

Right: The top is a 1927 cardboard cutout; the middle one is from 1951, and the bottom one is from 1947.

Another half-dozen good-looking women. The top card is from a 1915 calendar; the middle is from 1930, and the bottom is from 1951.

Right: The top is a 1940 cardboard cutout; the middle is from 1949, and the bottom is from France, dated 1948.

Yet more women. Top one is from a 1950 calendar; the middle is from a 1903 calendar, and the bottom is from a 1940 poster.

Right: The top card is form 1948; the middle is from 1891 and is probably the first calendar featuring a Coca-Cola ad. The bottom one is a cardboard cutout from 1940.

The top card is a 1940 lighted sign, while the bottom is a cardboard cutout from the 1930's.

Left side: The top card is from a 1940 cardboard cutout; the middle is from 1983, and the bottom is from 1916.

Right side: The top card is from 1966. I think the bottle itself is too dark and it sort of looks like something is wrong with it on the top right part of the bottle. The middle card is from a 1927 Mexican ad. The bottom card does not have a date on the back.

Left side: The top card is from 1921 and shows a court house and what was going on around it. Frankly, I don't care for the artwork. The middle card lacks a date. The ad is, to me, too 'busy' with too much stuff in it detracting from the bottle. The bottom card is form 1949.

Right side: The top card is of a 1930 cardboard cutout; the middle card is from a 1909 song. The writer seemed to have forgotten that dodo is one word; with the hyphen in it, it sounds like something rather gross. The bottom card is from 1961.

Left Side: Another card featuring artwork is at the top, and it's from a 1920 ad. The middle card is a 1932 cardboard cutout, while the bottom one is from 1929. That ad wastes too much space, in my opinion.

Right side: The top card is from 1931; the middle one is from 1927, and the bottom is from 1943. There aren't many World War II-oriented cards in this series.

Left Side: A 1956 French calendar ad is on the top card. The middle card shows a 1926 ad. The bottom card is from 1954.

Right side: The top card is from 1952, the middle from 1938, and the bottom from 1953.

Left side: The top card is from 1951. It's another item that has 'hospitality' in it, and probably a little too much small print. The middle card is from 1926, while the bottom is from 1947, emphasizing Coca-Cola as an entertainment drink.

Right side: The top card is from 1945 and is one of the few that show both mother and daughter. The middle card is from 1928, while the bottom is a 1968 cutout ad for Sprite.

Left side: The top card is from 1951, the middle from 1926 and the bottom, again emphasizing the link between hospitality and Coca-Cola, is from the 1940's.

Right side: The top card has artwork from 1949. The middle card is a metal sign used during the 1950's. The bottom is artwork from 1948.

Left side. The artwork shows a wooden carrier used as a six-pack case, rather than the cardboard ones. The artwork is from somewhere between 1930 and 1949. The middle card is from 1968 and is from an ad in Thailand.

Which brings up something interesting. Of the sets I have looked at so far, there are almost no orientals pictured, and no almost no blacks. It's like Coca-Cola is supposed to be the drink for white people. The bottom is taken from an animated 1994 commercial.

Right side: This is artwork from an Our American Series that Coca-Cola produced in 1950. The middle card is the same type of thing, but from 1943, while the bottom card is from 1950.

Left Side: The top card is from a 1994 TV commercial. The middle card is from 1956, and the bottom card is from 1944.

Right Side: The top card is from 1937, the middle from 1961, and the bottom from 1948, showing an outdoor lighted sign.

Left Side: Gasoline at 22 cents per gallon? You have to go back to 1926, the date of the artwork, to find that. The middle card is form 1946, and the bottom card from 1954.

Right Side: The top card is from 1944, the middle from 1928 and the bottom, rather strange-looking artwork, is from 1926.

Left side: The top card is from the 1930's, the middle from 1946, and the bottom from 1941.

Right side: The top card is from artwork used in 1926 and 1927. The middle card is also from 1926, while the bottom one is from the 1940's.

Left side: The top card is from 1927. The next card is from 1936, the third from 1923, and the bottom card is from 1946.

Right side: The top card is from 1945, the next card no date is given for the artwork, and the third card is from 1950. The last card is the standard check list.
