Title: Ideal Slider 35
Post by: bumberjack.dk on August 23, 2011, 03:38:34 pm
Hello

 Does anyone have a picture of how an original 7up Ideal 35 slider looks like?
 mine is white but the ones I find pictures on the net has a green lid. Is it something orginalt or??
 However, I can see something blue under the white paint on my lid. but doubt that it was a Pepsi

Regards

Lars

It could have been pretty much anything as they where not brand specific and not embossed, so at one point in it's life it could have been pepsi, or coke or white ..

the only way to tell is get out some sandpaper and starts sanding and see what the orginal color was..

I would think originally they would have come one color, not oposing lid colors as the companies would not have spent time or money on two colors.

think you are right about only one color that makes sense. I must try with sandpaper and see if it changes color

There are embossed Royal Crowns... hard to find... May have had to go back and have a new lid put
on and they used a pepsi?... Nice coolers!
