Rare Royal Crown & Nehi Coolers

[Funtronics]

Had a busy weekend. Went to look at a guys collection of signs and machines. He had this killer looking Nehi cooler that all the sides were embossed, even the word Drink. I'm not sure who made this cooler? Looks like an early Quikold, but the lid has the X in it like a Glascock cooler. He was asking $2,000 for it. I'm still seriously considering it.  The Canadian Dry cooler was sold and someone was coming to pick it up. The Royal Crown cooler looked like an early S & S cooler but did not have the swirly braces at the bottom. This guy had some really nice things.

Not a Quikold or S&S looks like a Pelco type cooler with the black corners running down and the embossing matches a
Nehi I almost bought at one time.... looks nice with those colors.

Royal Crown looks like a Longerman saw one a few years ago in the wild.

Nice coolers all!  That Canada Dry is a Heintz.  Wish I would have kept mine but I did get a good price for it when I sold it.  Mine needed the lettering re-painted and it was missing the etched glass with the CD logo in the door.  The window in the door must have been an option.

Whoever did the restorations on those coolers did an outstanding job on them. They all look great.

I think Jay Booher had a Nehi cooler like that.
