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)

Don't have one actually never heard of it until now. Congrats again

Damn! That came out really nice.  You are right crazy rare, I've been looking for coolers probably every night for the last 5 years and have never seen one, congrats

Very Nice Indeed ! ! !
Thanks for sharing!
Who restored the cooler...?

Only other one I've seen is in the book... That came out beautiful... show a close up of the bottle please.

Thanks Guys.

I'll post a better picture of the bottle tomorrow (I just came back from a Stevie B concert.... freestyle brings me back to my youth lol)

Rod restored the cooler.... did a fantastic job!

Very nice cooler! Love it

Ed  looks fantastic, do you have any history on it before you got it? Thanks again for the post!

sorry, no history on it... I wish I did.

Not sure what part of the country this brand would have been in.

i think bireleys was more of a west coast thing, its popular in japan now

 looks great....it went to a good home!

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:

Great looking cooler Ed! :happydrinkers:

 :drinking: Tim :drinking:

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:

I was Lucky enough to see it at Rods, Awesome piece! Love the details in that bottle.

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...

Yes NOS dated 1938

That is an awesome cooler. Great work.

Both the cooler AND the sign are very Killer. Yes, the only other cooler that I've ever seen Is in the book.
I wonder where THAT one is? Hmmmmmmm
