I ran across this photo on ebay that shows a Barqs Glascock Standard Ice Cooler.. I thought they where specifically coke only?
I'd assume original as I'm sure this Vendor was not into making "Fantasy" coolers back then? glare or maybe this was Coca-Cola Cowboys Great Grandpa!?

just found it interesting, thought I'd share.. the photos is up for sale on ebay.

John

I saw that same picture a few years back and wondered the same thing .But with the rebranding of the machine in the 50s I figured that happened in the 20&30&40s also . Glasscocks are easy to rebrand .
