Title: DP Cooler Value? Post by: pepsi-perk on July 09, 2010, 04:56:25 pm Hi all...what do you think this cooler would be worth in good shape? I think it's pretty cool looking. Thanks in advance!
Title: Re: DP Cooler Value? Post by: Chedki on July 09, 2010, 06:22:40 pm 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. 8)

Title: Re: DP Cooler Value? Post by: Creighton on July 10, 2010, 11:25:34 am Nice cooler!! Here is the description from Jeff Walters 1994 cooler book (page 52).
Creighton Atlas 18 Size 17" l x 9 1/4" W x 15 1/2" H Capacity 18 bottles. Color scheme: Green body with embossed red lettering. Produced: 50's Average condition $85.00 Very uncommon in Dr. Pepper. A bottle opener & drain were both located on the side of this cooler, and I have seen them with sandwich trays. 10, 2 & 4 are embossed. Title: Re: DP Cooler Value?

Don't know much about the coolers but that is one I have never seen and I wouldn't mind having that in my collection!

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: Title: Re: DP Cooler Value? Post by: RC kid on July 10, 2010, 12:48:24 pm 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. Title: Re: DP Cooler Value? Post by: pepsi-perk on July 10, 2010, 05:50:57 pm 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. Title: Re: DP Cooler Value? Post by: Creighton on July 10, 2010, 06:39:31 pm Ouch! always next week. What did the DP cooler sell for? Bored today and converted $85 1994 dollars to 2010, $135.00.

Title: Re: DP Cooler Value? Post by: RC kid on July 10, 2010, 07:57:30 pm 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.
