Original in that condition may fetch $150. $100 for a re-pop is pushing it with a dent.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'll offer maybe $60? Luckily he's only a couple miles away so I don't have to go very far.

This sure looks like an original progress cooler to me  , cold galvanized liner, the lid handle & bottle opener looks to be OEM, ( maybe the copy right mark under the tail end of the "Coca~Cola" ? unless they ran a batch of them on the original die-set. In any case, I agree that the dent is a big negative price-wise. |

That "Drink" font and the Trademark Registered "R" = repro.
$60 might not be bad.

Ah! I wasn't sure, nice looking repop (other than the dent) |

I agree with Johnie, that galvanized liner gives it a much more original look but I think the original lowboy also had a drain.
Anyway, for under a hundred bucks you get a cooler that your not afraid to use daily. Go for it!

Here is n original
"Drink" is a smaller font size, and the Registered Trademark symbol ( R in a circle) was not on the original cooler.
