 I helped a guy a few years back asking for a picture of the bottle opener on the Icy-o countertop that Seth now owns.
       He was writing a guide on Brown mfg bottle openers. It is now published, but I have not yet seen it:
http://www.amazon.com/Collecting-Manufacturing-Company-Bottle-Openers/dp/1481973665/ref=cm_sw_em_r_dp_5kXmub18V67C7_tt
        He came in to my store yesterday and I learned more info about wall mounted openers than I ever knew existed.
        Very nice guy, e-mail him if you have questions about openers on any cooler or machine at Reggie2dog@msn.com.
        Here are pictures part of his collection.

That is amazing. I never knew people collected just openers. Well it surely takes up less space then machines and it saves your back.

I've seen the bulldog on ebay ... don't know if they are old or reproduced... but I've seen several of the faces and animal openers there.
