Original in that condition may fetch $150.  $100 for a re-pop is pushing it with a dent.

Cool. Thanks for the heads up. I'll offer maybe $60?  Luckily he's only a couple miles away so I don't have to go very far.

This sure looks like an original progress cooler to me  :Oo:, cold galvanized liner, the lid handle & bottle opener looks to be OEM, ( maybe the copy right mark under the tail end of the "Coca~Cola" ? unless they ran a batch of them on the original die-set. In any case, I agree that the dent is a big negative price-wise.

That "Drink" font and the Trademark Registered "R" = repro.
$60 might not be bad.

Ah! I wasn't sure, nice looking repop (other than the dent)

         I agree with Johnie, that galvanized liner gives it a much more original look but I think the original lowboy also had a drain.
Anyway, for under a hundred bucks you get a cooler that your not afraid to use daily.  Go for it!

Here is n original

"Drink" is a smaller font size, and the Registered Trademark symbol ( R in a circle) was not on the original cooler.

Is the Repop a decal or embossed?

Got it for $60

It is a repop. Embossed and says 2001 coca cola co on it....

Thanks for the help guys!

And apparently the orchird supply hardware stores had repo 6pack coolers for about $60. All sold out but I called one near me and they said to check back in a couple weeks. They might've ordered more. This is SoCal so check yours near you.

Hate to say it, but that actually looks just... awful  :glare:  they should have centered the embossing vertically
