I picked up a Coca-Cola space shuttle tray at store called Buccanner Collectiables in Florida.

I've had it for quite some time and I have not been able to find an estimate on what it is worth. Any ideas?

Had the tray had been produced at the time of Coca-Cola's flight on Challenger (STS-51F) or even made later to specifically commemorate the flight, its value would be greater as space memorabilia, however that doesn't appear to be the case.

The launch pictured is STS-7, the maiden flight of Challenger in 1983.

The tray was produced for a 1992 Coca-Cola collector's convention in Orlando. The location of the meeting was probably what inspired the use of the shuttle photo.

As such, I would say the tray has very little value as space memorabilia, but may be of greater interest to Coca-Cola collectors.
