Fellow Enthusiasts
Been collecting picnic coolers for  almost 20 years.
So I have "a few".
Just found this site this year.
So.....
Glad to meet you all.
I'm also interested in vintage signs.
I'm sure everyone here is.

Welcome Bigfoot! I've seen glimpses of you over the years running through the myriad of coolers "out there"! People say they have pics of you buying coolers, but no one can confirm the picture's authenticity.  Oo
Yes - please post pics!

Here is a pic i took about a year ago.
Just a taste.  But it's something.
The stainless is a NOS Acton.  Cleanest one I have ever seen.

There are definitely still bargains out there.
I picked up a stainless coke 6 pack the other day for $150.
Very clean and still has some red paint on the embossing.
That was a deal.

Thnx
The first 6pack I ever got was a Snackmaster.
I didn't find a Coke untill later.
Finding these at Flea Markets was (and still is) a blast but the Internet has changed everything.
Some of it good some "in question".

This is the only other EAGLE I have ever seen.  It was offered to me about 1/2 dozen years ago.
Not in the same condition as the one I have in the other pic.
I passed at the time.  I wasnt even sure it was "legit" then,...but they are.
It was for the local newspaper which is still in business.

Love the Grapette Superior Jr. I have one that took me years to locate, and I had to have it restored. If you ever decide to part with your original, or know of another, please keep me in mind.

Here is a really nice and pretty hard to find Coke cooler flanked on the right by a NOS French Canadian version.
I have never seen another  one like it (Canadian).  Came with Progress box etc.

Would still take a stainless.
Thnx guys.
