The front of it has a recessed opener and what looks like a hole for an empty cap catcher drawer.

I would agree looks like a Quickold or a S&S...

I don't think it's a Quikold.. If that is a seam running up the end the side seams aren't like that, the Quikold ends bolt on and the seam is on the front.
The tub along the top edge doesn't look right either. And all my cooler have 4 holes in the hinges not 6... Hhhmmm but the embossing looks pretty close.
I would like to see the lids from the top and the base... Canada colors may be a cooler from up North... Great looking cooler any other pictures? Would love to
see how the front is embossed...

I've seen these little repro signs on ebay and always wondered if that cooler was real or made up for the sake of the sign...
I think this cooler is the one on these signs... I've never seen one like this one. Awesome!

Maybe an unknown Kelvinator?  They have the interior bottle opener and that side trim that's in the Pepsi sign http://soda-machines.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=176&Itemid=14

One of these popped up by me a while back, not sure of brand but do know it's about the same size as a master cooler rather than a standard, if you have the space I think it's cool

Just exactly when is that - j/k Jared tounge
I vote Kelvinator. The trim that wraps around the corners is very similar.

I'm still trying to decide. I'll post some pictures later this evening, but it's in great shape as-is. Just some slight surface rust. Even has the original casters.

The Pepsi logos are all embossed, and everything else is painted on. All rust is slight surface rust and everything is solid. Great cooler imo.

My guess,would be that it is made by Fridgaire. I have a 1948 Canadian Fridgaire double dot pepsi. Why I am saying that, is at the corner seams of the cabinet the upper several inches on the seam are fully welded/ grinded smooth. Yours might be an earlier ice verison. Just my 2 cents.
