Just finished restoring this rare Coca-Cola Industrial Carton Cooler. This was a tough cooler to restore because there had to be a lot of parts custom made. Turned out really great. I just wish I would have taken some before pictures. It was a rusted out mess when I bought it.

I have an original one in my showroom at Fun-Tronics, and a customer came in and saw it on my counter and wanted to buy it. I told him it wasn't for sale, but I did have one in the rough in storage that I could restore for him. So we agreed on a price and he made a down payment on it, and here it is finished. So yes it is sold. |

Here are some pictures of the original one next to the one I restored. I also took some pictures of the insides for the ones that asked to see the inside.

Thanks for those pic's Rod, I'll probably never see another one again.
Now I'm going to ask the question everybody is wondering about........what is a restored Carton cooler worth?

Without giving an exact figure so I don't offend the person that I restored it for. Lets just say it's more than $3,500.

Not as rare as a Decapper or the Victor Cooler Grill, but if I had to guess i would say there are about 30 of them out there. I know of 8 for sure.
