Fellow Enthusiasts
Been collecting picnic coolers for  almost 20 years.
So I have "a few".
Just found this site this year.
So.....
Glad to meet you all.
I'm also interested in vintage signs.
I'm sure everyone here is.

Welcome to the site, :smile:  you will have to post some pictures of  Picnic coolers  we all like pictures :biggrin:

Welcome Bigfoot! I've seen glimpses of you over the years running through the myriad of coolers "out there"! People say they have pics of you buying coolers, but no one can confirm the picture's authenticity.  :Oo:
Yes - please post pics!

Welcome... People collect signs??? JK!

Welcome to the board!!

Welcome and stuff

Here is a pic i took about a year ago.
Just a taste.  But it's something.
The stainless is a NOS Acton.  Cleanest one I have ever seen.

I like that City Club Beer cooler. Kind of a deco look to it.

YOU HAVE A GRIESEDIECK COOLER.  Now that proves you have been collecting along time...

^^
Um.....
Those are easy to find compared to the other 3......
:-)

They are neat. Hard to pass on.....
Can be tough to find clean.

Something i thought to take apic of to share.  We all love NOS right.

very nice

Love the stainless I need one .

Ihave a pepsi cooler like yours with the tall sandwich container inside, got it on ebay 2 years ago for 50 bucks

There are definitely still bargains out there.
I picked up a stainless coke 6 pack the other day for $150.
Very clean and still has some red paint on the embossing.
That was a deal.

Here is another pic I found.  I cant find a decent place to host all my pics so I am just pulling up old photos I have taken.
Enjoy

Welcome ! and you have a nice cooler collection, I like the "Snackmaster"

Thnx
The first 6pack I ever got was a Snackmaster.
I didn't find a Coke untill later.
Finding these at Flea Markets was (and still is) a blast but the Internet has changed everything.
Some of it good some "in question".

Great coolers and a die-cast of a 05 Ford GT. Have a real one by any chance?
Interesting reads over at:

Look at THE EAGLE.
It is not embossed but is 100% old and original.

This is the only other EAGLE I have ever seen.  It was offered to me about 1/2 dozen years ago.
Not in the same condition as the one I have in the other pic.
I passed at the time.  I wasnt even sure it was "legit" then,...but they are.
It was for the local newspaper which is still in business.

Love the Grapette Superior Jr. I have one that took me years to locate, and I had to have it restored. If you ever decide to part with your original, or know of another, please keep me in mind.

I'll let you know if I ever find another.

Here is a really nice and pretty hard to find Coke cooler flanked on the right by a NOS French Canadian version.
I have never seen another  one like it (Canadian).  Came with Progress box etc.

Cooler is from that area.
I am East coast

Anyone have a mint Temprite 6pack they can part with ?  Red or stainless.  Either will do.  Thnx

Found the nicest red paint version I have ever seen.
Absolutely NOS, mint, in the original box.
Would still take a stainless.
Thnx guys.
