Title: Pepsi Cooler with stand: Did they really make any of these?
Post by: BrianB on October 04, 2007, 07:38:34 am
I was cruising around Craigslist yesterday and found a Pepsi Cooler sitting on a stand. The stand has a rack in it for a bottle crate for storing empty or full bottles. IS this just a "fantasy: piece?

I've seen them here and there over the years, but can't say whether it is real or fantasy!

there's one in the Walter's picnic cooler books said to be for smalll mom & pop shops
to sell soda out of... like a smaller junior.... But they did repro these stands about
10 years ago - Steve from Memory Lane, I think, who sold them....

       So simple to manufacture, but is as practical as the cooler
itself.
       What's the use of restoring this cooler if it has to be displayed
on the floor? It's too big and heavy to sit on a shelf. Now this picnic
cooler can be used for what it was made for...........cold beer!  :laugh:

From what I've been told Vintage Vending Repro'd these years ago also. Nobody has done them recently though. They really add a new dimension to displaying a cooler.
