Bob Shop ID

DURING 1961 COCA-COLA INTRODUCED A COLLECTABLE SERIES OF 20 ASSORTED WHITE MOULDED PLASTIC AFRICAN ANIMALS FOR THE SOUTH AFRICAN MARKET AND SOME OTHER AFRICAN COUNTRIES. IDEA BEING THAT WHEN A COKE DRINK WAS PURCHASED THE PERSON WOULD FIND A PLASTIC DISC UNDER THE BOTTLE TOP WITH THE PICTURE OF ONE OF THE ANIMALS IN THE SERIES. CHILDREN FEVERISHLY CONSUMED LARGE QUANTITIES OF COKE IN ORDER TO COLLECT THE FULL RANGE, WHICH THEY COULD TRADE BETWEEN FRIENDS. LATER ANOTHER ANIMAL....AN ELAND WAS ADDED TO THE SERIES MAKING IT 21 ANIMALS TO COLLECT. DUE TO THE FINE AND DELICATE DETAIL OF THE ANIMALS MOST OF THESE WERE BROKEN OVER THE YEARS, THUS MAKING A COMPLETE SET BOTH VALUABLE AND RARE. IN PARTICULAR DUE TO THE THIN LEGS OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN RUGBY EMBLEM THE SPRINGBOK.....THIS PARTICULAR ANIMAL IS ULTRA RARE AND FETCHES UP TO US$70 OR MORE ON EBAYJUST FOR THE SPRINGBOK. STILL VERY COLLECTABLE AMONGST COKE COLLECTORS TODAY AND FULL SETS ARE KNOWN TO FETCH OVER US$200 - US$300. ONCE THE SET WAS COMPLETED IN 1961 THE COLLECTOR COULD GET A CARDBOARD 3D BACKGROUND BUSH PICTURE TO DISPLAY THEIR ANIMALS WITH........EXTREMELY RARE TO FIND ONE OF THESE INTACT AFTER 50 YEARS. FEEL FREE TO EXPLORE THIS SUBJECT VIA GOOGLE FOR MORE INFO. THIS SET OFFERED IS COMPLETE, BUT WITHOUT THE CARDBOARD BACKGROUND PIC. ALL ANIMALS ARE INTACT, ALSO IN GOOD CONDITION, SOME SURFACE DIRT TO SOME AND SLIGHT DISCOLOUR, BUT THE WILDEBEEST IS LACKING A TAIL........SET INCLUDES THE EXTRA AND ALSO RARE ELAND FIGURE WHICH IS IN GOOD ORDER APART FROM ONE BIT OF HORN MISSING. MOST ANIMALS ARE ABOUT 3-5CM IN SIZE....THE TALL GIRAFFE IS ABOUT 6CM HIGH. ALL MARKED DRINK COCA-COLA ON ONE SIDE OF THE BASE AND REGISTERED DESIGN AND SERIAL NUMBERS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BASE.....AWESOME FOR THE SERIOUS COKE COLLECTOR.
