Has anyone ever seen a Dr Pepper cooler with "embossed red bricks" on it, green in color and the "good for life" embossing.
I found one that looks like a westinghouse standard with two lids and refrig. unit., it is complete, good shape and cools. Priced around 400.00, any ideas on what is value is? Thanks Terry

It may be a Quikold Cooler. I didn't see this in person but a few years back there was a auction listed in the Antique Trader and it had a Standard cooler with the Brick Logo on it and the rest of the cooler was the DP green..... $400 and the size of a standard I'd be hauling it home right now... But I'm on the hunt for Quikolds.... Would love...LOVE to see it! Snap an image of it (while you're loading it into your truck)
How come none of this cool stuff is in Missouri!......

Terry - any chance you have a pic? I can't add anything to the conversation but I'm having trouble picturing the machine and graphics you're talking about.

Another thought on this...Dr Pepper, as far as embossing goes, is rare....
Most machines DP used.... they just screwed signs to them... But I'm sure you have the machine books and know all that already.....It sounds like a nice size and if it's solid and
works, at that price, I would buy it...

I'll post some pictures of it as soon as I pick it up. The owner is holding it for me until I can get there to pick it up.

The owner is holding the cooler for me, we just started our major plant outage this weekend (14-20 hour days) so I will not be able to pick up the cooler for about a month. I also found a westinghouse 42 in great shape for 300.00, I'll pick up both machines at the same time. terry

Dude! you are killing me!!!!!!!!!!! A 42 and a rare DP for under a grand.....
I gotta get out of Missouri ...I hear things are SUPPOSE to be higher on the Coast...
Heck they are giving them away!!!!!
If that Dr Pepper is what I think it is.... you scored!
I look at it like this.... we're all hunters....
If that DP was a deer... It would put you in the Boone and Crocket Record books....
And a 42!!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
WAY 2 GO!!!!!!

This will show how much of a pack rat I am...
I came across the auction I mentioned about a DP cooler.
Does it look like this?...
Since it's an image in a paper and I wasn't able to go to the auction I don't know if it's embossed or just painted on.
You can tell it's a Quikold due to the rounded corners and it's not complete the base with casters are missing.
I wouldn't think they would have taken the time on an assembley line to paint that much detail.. Iwould think it would have been just a white.
But anyway here is the only Quikold Brick I've seen.
The auction was in 1999 at Katy, Texas

Well Guy's here it is, the embossed red brick cooler I was telling you about. It was manufactured by S&S products but the end caps appear to be quikcold's. I cannot find any more info. on it! I talked to a few serious collectors who said that they have never heard of one before. The signage is 100% embossed. I showed it to two other collectors today and they both tried to buy it. The vintage is late 30's to late 40's. This cooler has more embossed bricks than the quikcold did. It is the size of a master quikcold and the refrigeration still works! The body is very straight with one small minor dent.

Eric,
Does this one qualify me for that coon skin hat? I'm not sure if I am going to keep this one or not, I never was a big fan of DP. I am searching to find some info. on it. I will probably sell or trade it.

You qualify for the hat and squirrel gun!
Wow what a great embossing! What was DP thinking?!?!?!? How
cool would that look on a 81! I've seen two rough Quikold juniors
with the embossed script lettering but no brick background. Wonder
how long that was used?....
Great cooler we need a place for that image in machines or the gallery.
Makes you wonder what is STILL out there!
Great find Terry ....keep 'em coming!!!!!!!

Gentlemen,
I am thinking about selling or trading off the DP cooler. I have talked with a few more collectors as well as the DP mueseum in Texas. I cannot find anyone who has seen one of these before. It appears to be from the 30's, made by S&S products. Everyone is claiming it to be very rare because of the embossing. I may list it on e-bay, but not sure yet. Any ideas? Thanks Terry

You'd get your best price off eBay.... Is there a DP club?.... I would contact them, if there is, and let them know so
the serious guys...with serious money would be watching.... As far as price?.... I have no idea what it would bring
I would think you'd be sure and double your money..... Just don't know how high.... It's a great size and with the
exception of a cap catcher... it's solid and complete. It definantly needs to be in our gallery and machine areas.

I just sold a VMC 81 generic bare door on ebay. I got e-mails from people wanting to build a Dr. Pepper machine. Sold for $735.00 to a D.P. collector in Sweeden.
Let us know if you list yours Terry

Terry,
I'd give the DP museum(sp) first crack. Let them know what you need for monies. If they can't match then ebay the puppy. Be sure and let them know what the auction #, is case they have a case of rethink.
You found it you should get rewarded.
