Title: Kern's Beverages Cooler Post by: jbrumett on September 23, 2012, 08:09:21 pm Picked this up last week. Know very little about the company other than it was based in New Jersey and they made Soda and Beer. Anyone know much about these as far as rarity?
Thanks, Jeff Title: Re: Kern's Beverages Cooler Post by: johnieG on September 23, 2012, 08:55:17 pm Boy oh boy, that's a real rough puppy! looks like a generic progress standard with the Kern's logo silk-screened onto the face, pity they spray painted red all over it, but at least the buck & rest of the Logo is visible to make a copy from. it looks like it was a white colored cooler underneath it all.
I'd personally invest a little time & locate another generic cooler & duplicate & transfer the Kern's logo onto it, this one looks way too rusty, but if you are ambitious...go for it. while local brands are fewer in number than a "Coke" or Pepsi" they also have a proportionately smaller following. ( they ain't worth as much :blush: ) and generic (non-embossed brands) coolers like this one can go for between $75-200 dollars depending on condition, etc. I'm afraid to have you show the bottom at this point, I hope it's intact, and I hope this helps. & I hope member Bigfoot can chime in here too. Title: Re: Kern's Beverages Cooler Post by: jbrumett on September 23, 2012, 09:39:13 pm Thanks and actually the bottom is in really good condition believe it or not. Hope to restore it someday. Given the value range you gave me I didn't do too bad on this one. I like it because it is different. By the way, how could I go about getting the decal replicated?

Find out from your friends who has the best digital camera and take flat on pics with flash and without. Vinyl shop can clean those up to make a decal. Carefull of "overcharges". Get a set price.

restore it use the masking decals to help paint the logo back on. Title: Re: Kern's Beverages Cooler Post by: Bigfoot on September 24, 2012, 08:16:31 am I do not think its worth the effort to try and replicate or "restore"
Of Course...... :-) If you would like me to post a pic of a near mint original I can accommodate. Title: Re: Kern's Beverages Cooler Post by: jbrumett on September 24, 2012, 08:46:13 am Bigfoot,
If you have a pic you can post that would be wonderful....in case I decide to restore!!!! Title: Re: Kern's Beverages Cooler Post by: Bigfoot on September 24, 2012, 04:10:39 pm Will do
