The 1909 Pepsi Cola tray that is commonly referred to as the "Gibson Girl" tray has been reproduced two times.  Once in 1973 and once in 1983.  The tray has been called the "Gibson Girl" because the woman in the picture is very similar to those drawn by Charles Dana Gibson that were used in various advertising campaigns.  There is no evidence that Gibson ever drew the picture that was used for this tray.

There are a few difference to help you distinguish between the three trays.

The original 1909 tray measures 13 9/16" tall and 11 1/4" wide.  The name "Niagra Buffalo" is printed below the Pepsi Cola script near the border.  The back side of the tray is Olive Drab color.

The 1973 reproduction was made for the 75th anniversary of Pepsi Cola.  It measures 12 5/16" tall and 10 1/8" wide.  The rim is white and the back of the tray is black.

The 1983 reproduction is the most common of the three trays.  It measures 14 1/2 " tall anf 11 9/16" wide.  The rim and backside of the tray are gold in color.  On the back of this one, it says "Fabcraft Inc. Frenchtown, NJ, Made in USA."

I hate to see someone spend their hard earned money thinking they are buying a rare piece of Pepsi memorabilia when in all actuality it is nothing more than a reproduction.  That is the whole reason I am writing this guide.  If you ever have any Pepsi Cola questions, please feel free to contact me.
