Just sharing another cooler.
This one is RARE as rare gets.

Restoration is awesome, and all the lettering and logo (all embossed) turned out fantastic!!!

I would be curious to know if anyone else out there has this cooler, let alone restored.
( I forgot to put the cap catcher on!  I'll take better pictures at a later date with the catcher on!..)

(sorry for the bad pictures.... still under renovations, and the house is a war zone lol)

Thanks Ron.... I appreciate you selling it to me  smile

I know some here thought I should keep it original, as it had the cool patina kind of look to it....
BUT the door to the cooler was repainted at one point, and the front lettering was poorly redone and it didn't come across that way on the small pictures.
I bought the cooler knowing that I was going to restore it.

But again, thanks!
If you guys ever see if for sale, that means that I'm dead and my wife listed in on Ebay  laugh

Loved restoring this one. Just wish I could have kept it when I finished it. I was hoping Ed would have forgot that I had it.  biggrin

Wow Joey is that your sign?... NOS!?... That would look killer over the cooler... looks like the same bottle too...
they changed bottles later to a more "soda looking" 12 ounce later on... nice stuff folks...
