The most prolific advertising company jars in the past few years have been Coca-Cola jars. There have been literally dozens made depicting a variety of images like polar bears, coke cans, trucks, and racing cars.

Most of the jars are relatively inexpensive, but there are a few jewels in the group. The Emmett Kelly jar made by Stanton Arts is the most valuable of the Coca-Cola jars, followed by the two McCoy made jars, a jug, and a large Coca-Cola can.
