Title: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler? Post by: mygoose101 on September 28, 2012, 07:30:27 pm I'm not interested in it, just wondering. Looks like a homemade job to me but I could be wrong. The stand just looks way to modern to house a double dot cooler.

His story about the stand is... :censored: Title: Re: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler? Post by: johnieG on September 28, 2012, 07:41:03 pm It Looks real & vintage, wish they'd be more specific on the manufacture or a model No. & maybe a nice inside picture, So a cooler it is, vintage it may be...(or just a hollow shell) I wonder why it's not being put up on Ebay, it would attract a larger crowd..
PS I attached picture for posterity's sake or once the item sells the Pic' will disappear & everybody would wonder what the heck you were talking about. Title: Re: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler?

Title: Re: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler? Post by: MaineT on September 28, 2012, 08:05:28 pm The stand looks exactly like the one that was at auction in Maine with one of these coolers. It looked like it was the right age and fit it perfectly.
Not saying it like it is in fact real, just kind of hard to believe that there are 2 of the exact coolers across the country with the same exact fake base that fits it perfectly.

Title: Re: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler? Post by: MoonDawg on September 28, 2012, 08:42:02 pm Seems to me Pepsi would have painted the stand blue.... or at least the shade of red should be the same color as the letters on the cooler.
These two pieces still do not look like they are from the same era. Title: Re: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler? Post by: Jacko1070 on October 01, 2012, 08:26:46 am Looks about right to me........those casters look pretty aged either wood or aged steel
Title: Re: Is this a real Pepsi Cooler? Post by: bcharlton on October 01, 2012, 09:04:16 am The stand does not exist in Warman's Pepsi Field Guide. I suspect it is a repop.
