Vintage 'Dr Pepper' Crate

Try placing a colourful Dr Pepper Crate in your Kitchen, perhaps with a couple of pots of herbs to create a perfect splash of colour. Your family and friends will immediately want to know all about it and will more than likely give you some more brilliant ideas on how to use and display your Crate

If you know any reluctant chefs or terrible teens, think what a great gift this would be.

They too, have a long and interesting history. In 1885, we're told the worlds oldest major soft drink was invented by a young pharmacist called Charles Alderton of Waco Texas. His customers originally asked for a shot of Waco at the soda fountain. This makes Dr Pepper one year older than Coca Cola. Just think of all that history, what else can you think of that could tell so many stories of the past?

Dr Pepper Crates were also made in a number of different depots across the United States. Metal trims, original markings and company stamps on most of them all add to their fascinating history.

They've been around for a long time and some of them will show a few signs of hard work along the way, so you do need to make some allowance for this.
