Barbie Coca Cola Summer Daydreams Collector Edition Doll 1997 Mattel #19739

The year was 1913 and "Coca-Cola" sales passed the six-and one-half million gallon mark! The Western "Coca-Cola" Bottling Company of Chicago, had just published a calendar featuring a new stylish "Coca-Cola" lady. In those days, calendars were a popular form of advertising.

Inspired by this calendar portrait, Barbie as the "Coca-Cola" lady, is caught in the midst of a well-deserved daydream. In the heat of a warm summer day, she refreshes herself with an ice cold bottle of "Coca-Cola".

In this time of petticoats and pastimes, Barbie perches on a swing in a summer garden on a quiet afternoon. She wears an elegant white, pleated dress adorned with faux pearl buttons and red satin ribbon. Her lace trimmed petticoat peeks out from beneath her skirt displaying white stockings and T-strap shoes.

Topped with a white straw-cloth hat trimmed with perky red roses and a matching red bow, she is beautifully and undeniably romantic. Should the sun shine too brightly, Barbie is ready with her matching parasol adorned with red bows and featuring a bamboo-like handle.

Barbie holds her authentic bottle of "Coca-Cola" with its diamond-shaped label, and straw. This distinctive label allowed consumers to distinguish "Coca-Cola" from competitors' products. At her side is a doll-sized tray which was also a popular form of advertising.

With Barbie as the "Coca-Cola" lady, two beautifully unique American classics are united, bringing the past to life.
