welcome to the forumHi All, total newbie here.
I live in Neath, South Wales and while rummaging around our attic at home, I stumbled across this crate left by previous owners. I haven't been able to find much about it online other than a few plastic crates from the 70s bit and this forum.
I wondered if anyone had any info on Mason's and if this crate is relevant ...and a rough age on it.
The crate actually has an old cistern on top of it so I haven't been able to move it yet to get a better look! Will add pics when I do.View attachment 170522
Loved to have the American Cream Soda with added vanilla ice cream. The bottles had black screw tops (not metal) when I was a child and the American Soda was pink.Masons "Jaffarade" Pop Crate and a few bottles of pop.

I think the other boys name Christian name was in fact Mason I knew him and his wife Doris in the 1970s.Bit of (useless) trivia: When I was a kid in the 60’s my folks had a caravan in Shobdon, Herefordshire. We went there most weekends from where we lived in Hall Green. The neighbouring caravan (bearing in mind that the caravans were scattered in a wood in those days, not nicely in rows with cut grass and flowers as they are today) was owned by the Masons pop people. Now they had two boys about the same age as me. I can’t remember the brother who was my age, but the younger one was Richard Mason. Anyway, if you are out there Richard - remember when we played and fished together? Remember me dropping a big stone in a cow pat which spattered all over you? I never apologised due to laughing, so 55 years later I would like to say sorry - ‘twas me that did the deed.....
