He has every original picnic cooler ever made, we discused this before. He bought the whole collection from Scott Burid.   He reluctantly just sold the two most valuable picnic coolers from his collection because he was offered $9000.00 for the pair.  One was a mint stainless steel airline cooler and the other was an airline cooler stamped and dedicated to Elenor Roosevelt, with photo and certificate.

        Here are a few dispensers

Your Friend clearly lives my dream. If I won the lottery I'd do exactly the same. I have shown those pictures to my wife and she now thinks I'm halfway normal. ..... Just fantastic.

It's so nice to see in person. I was there for 2 hours, and still didn't see everything. This man also owns a hotel on the coast highway, half way between Los Angeles and San Francisco.  I have been pleading with him for years, display this stuff behind glass on the bottom floor of the hotel.  I know people would mark this as a destination stop, eat at his restaraunt then lodge overnight.

       Here's my favorite:

Glenn

I think you are right. I'm sitting down now planning next year's holiday. If I knew that there was a hotel/motel out there that was displaying this sort of stuff it would definately sway me.

Thanks for posting this, Glen.  I've never seen anything close to a collection like that.
I wonder if that is the most extensive collection that exists.  Gotta be up there... '<img'>

Glen,
How big of an area is all of this vintage stuff in?

It looks like if everything was not stacked on top of each other and displayed well , it could cover a few thousand square feet of area at least.

Absolutely Fantastic.... I've seen a few now like this and this one definatley up there... The other Collection that I had seen (pictures of) was like this but with Automotive/Oil Gas STuff as well! The Guy had I'd guess a 10-15,000 Square Foot Building filled with Airplanes, Cars, Every vintage Car Dealer Sign, and of course soda related stuff.. Pretty amazing... I'm still looking for the photos so  I can post them.
We should create an area of "AMAZING COLLECTIONS" , I'll see if I can round up some photos of a guy I know who has an incredible collection as well and post the pictures.

These folks have to be in the top 10....  I posted this site a year ago I think...
I noticed they have a WYNOLA and Orange Crush cooler that looks the same make and model
as that STUBBY cooler... I think these folks are in Cananda too. So maybe this cooler model
is made there?
anyway...  www.falvocollectables.com

Wow....
