Hello to all. Newbe here. Does anyone else other then myself collect Mexican coolers and countertops. I have a good collection of about 20 coolers and countertops of many brands. Here's one I just picked up. It's kind of ruff but still rare. I've only seen one other that I sold to a friend of mind in Ca. about 6 years ago. Here's a picture.

Welcome! Don't collect these styles as I'm in Missouri but I, as the rest here would love to see the rest of your collection!
So post the images and show them off... I bet there are others more southwest that may
have a few.
Again welcome and stick around!

Thank You all for the nice greetings,
Terry I had over 100 U.S. picnic coolers of all brands and of all sizes. Living on the border of Texas and Mexico . I decided to sell all of my American cooler and start collectiing nothing but Mexican cooler and some stuff like the 15 foot Pepsi bottle pictured here. As for selling any. Sorry but no. I stoped selling Mexican coolers some time ago. I only collect these small ones now. I do sell the big one like the Mexican Westinghouse when and if I find them. Who is your friend , maybe I know him.
Anyhow Here are somemore pictures



and this pepsi bottle over 15 feet tall in my collection. I will post some more soon.

Amazing... been collecting off and on for about 10 years and never seen
anything like the Canada Dry and SKY coolers.... are those embossed?
Makes one wonder “What else can still be out there?”
Thanks for the images! Keep 'em coming!

Eric

Oh yeah... is that a jukebox trying to edge into the
cooler picture there to the right?....

" Vendobaldtops "  Here's the story behind that Pepsi bottle. there was 6 of them at the main Pepsi bottling company in Mexico City. This one is the only one to survive. I was told that it's from the late 50s. As for the dimensions on the Canada Dry and the SKY counter top coolers, they are 22"x17"x17". They (soda companies) made more Counter Top coolers as opposed to up right machines because of the small Mom & Pop stores. No room for the big up rights. The store owners would sell Ice Cold Pop right at the counter.
    " Delivery36 "sorry the Stainless Steel cooler was sold about 2 years ago.
   " Eric" . Yes these coolers are embossed and your right I've found all kinds of different stuff. just look at the pictures of my coffin coolers some are from the 50s and some from the 60s. Not only that but some were embossed by companies that gave them away as appreciation for a job well done. As for the Jukeboxes, I used to pick up a lot of Seeburgs, Rock~Old and Wurlitzer in Mexico. All of this stuff is almost all gone or too hard to find now days. I do have 2 Seeburg G and a V in my collection.
