Hi all...what do you think this cooler would be worth in good shape?  I think it's pretty cool looking.  Thanks in advance!

I have that version in Royal Crown Cola and paid $125 for it about 7 or 8 years ago. I don't think I've seen a Dr. Pepper version of that cooler. Have seen several in Royal Crown Cola. You've got a rare version of this cooler.  Cool

Nice cooler!! Here is the description from Jeff Walters 1994 cooler book (page 52).

Nice cooler!
Can't say I've seen one exactly like it - if I have, it has been a while.
I have larger one that is kind of similar made by Cronstrom. It has an embossed 10-2-4 on it too.
I seem to recall the bottom is rusted out on mine though. down

It does appear to be rare. And the old prices in Jeff Walter's book are a little off. But I believe ou got a really nice cooler that , if it were mine i wouldn't sell for anything less than $200.00.

But in todays market I wouldn't pay anymore than $150.00 for it.

That is just my opinion, for what it's worth.

Very cool cooler. I would like to have it.

Well, I would have loved to have got it and passed it on to one of your cooler fanatics, but my luck is just not with me this week on my chases.  Pepsi bubble clock..sold, cheap pepsi soda machines (plural) at a yard sale - sold, and yep, DP cooler....sold.   Ugghhh. 

Got my eye on a LaCrosse machine for cheap to use for some parts...maybe I will be able to land that.

If you like it, can afford it, and want it, grab it then.  I lost out too many times thinking  too much

Yep! If I really want it I will usually go ahead and get it quickly, that is, if my financial  situation at the time can support it.
