Hi All, Has anyone ever done anything with an old Coke box that is made of wood with a metal liner? All it is is a cooler basically...no mechanics or anything, just a box. Is there a reference to those anywhere on these sites that might show a picture of these type things? Thanks. Sorry, I don't have any pictures right now, but will try and post something soon if I can get back to it.
Ken

There are several manufacturers/models in the Soda Machines Section... For the sake of brevity, post a couple of pictures and we can go from there in the hopes of narrowing down what you might be looking at...

Sounds like it could be home made. Without pics, anything is speculation

Unfortunately, that's what I figured, you'd need pictures. I will see what I can do and get some this week and get them posted. Thanks!

Very cool pics!!! I saw the ones you're talking about. They're close, but the one I'm looking at sits on the floor and not on a stand like those shown in the pics. I really gotta get some pics to post!! Haha. I'll see what I can do over the weekend.

Why will they be broke up??? Is the museum going to sell out or is Coke going under??? Sorry, guess I may be out of it in the way of news these days.

Yep, sad but true, the Dad past away some time ago, & the mom recently, so per their wishes, the children are dispersing he majority via an Auction this September to benefit some of the couples charity's. I was staying at the Holiday inn next to the museum recently on business just last month & cauth them with the back doors open while inventorying & cataloging for the upcoming auction.
