Pepsi Cooler Find...Embossed on all sides. I think it's a Pelco

Thats a GE cooler

hmm, I don't think so, there's no general electric badge & the cap catcher is wrong.

So it seems that Brian has stumbled onto the mystery cooler.  Did you buy it Brian?  That would look great all cleaned up with a fresh coat of paint.  Although, with my wife's family ties to Coca Cola I could never get away with that one in my house.  Canada Dry, RC and DP but not Pepsi!

I have to agree with the posts so far that it does not really look like a Pelco or a GE.  I was thinking maybe Kelvinator but it really does not look like one of those either.  The size and shape of the cap catcher is certainly unique and should eventually lead to the ID.  Could it be an Atlas?  They used the bottle cap embossing on their coolers.

It's a GE for sure.

I just sold a "standard" GE Pepsi cooler last month. It was identical but shorter.

So is that cap catcher correct too?  That was what was throwing me because it looks diferent than what is on other GE's that I have seen.  Learn something new everyday!

I got this cooler like a year ago. Roger up on Seattle held it for me FOREVER! Thanks Roger! It's neat, it needs lids and some work, but I like the look of it. Like I said, no tag. I will go with the GE though based off of what Terry says. Terry, any idea what the lids looked like? Where thy embossed?

Yes inside and out. The coolers are usually missing one or both of the chrome/red striped trim strips. it looks like yours are there.

Not trying to hurt anyone feelings... step on toes... I just want to know for sure what type of cooler Brian
just bought.... Here is my GE non-electric beside Brian's pic...
Brian - Does your cooler have ICE COLD embossed to the top left of the logo on the front....
 
Is the cap on your cooler embossed on the front as there is no embossed cap on the front of this model GE cooler.. just on both sides/ends of the cooler and the lids...

Some lids have the embossing on the top and underneath (both sides) mine did not... a GE of my model also has HITS THE SPOT embossed on the ends...

There are no ribs along the front of GE coolers either.. Your picture looks as though there
might be some type of embossed ribbing along the bottom.. on a GE electric there is a ribbed looking grate that
can be removed to access the compressor...
Your catcher is different and the shape is different...

But that white paint could be hiding all the embossing and I cannot see it... Just from that picture it looks to be a
different type of cooler...

I think Eric may be right.  It may is the single version of my "double" GE.

Ok, I will try to take some better pics, but to answer your questions Eric....

The bottle cap on the front, the back and both sides is embossed. There are no other sayings embossed on the cooler
Along the bottom of the cooler, it is embossed ribbing. No tag on the cooler, anywhere
The cap catcher seems original. The opener just says Pepsi

I have no idea what I have here!!!!


Thanks!

Brian
