Title: Re: 1940's Coca cola Action Cooler (Question?..) Post by: johnieG on November 06, 2012, 10:00:15 pm still looks like a water release decal ("sticker" is generic) to me. but it still doesn't belong on a cooler, I've see these on bottle cases too.

Title: Re: 1940's Coca cola Action Cooler (Question?..) Post by: LouisvilleMike on November 07, 2012, 11:13:49 am yea, i didnt thing it would add value etc but i was more interested in if this was somthing that was done from the factory etc

Welcome. My guess is it didn't come from the factory, but was added later, maybe from a bottler or a distribution center. I've never seen that decal on a cooler before, so it also makes me think it's local to you. If you can get a clean scan, you can reproduce it and reapply it to your cooler Title: Re: 1940's Coca cola Action Cooler (Question?..) Post by: Bigfoot on November 08, 2012, 06:07:47 pm Have never seen that.
Have seen plenty of New Old Stock COke coolers but not with that "inscription" on there. Enjoy your piece Title: Re: 1940's Coca cola Action Cooler (Question?..) Post by: LouisvilleMike on November 09, 2012, 11:29:37 am Yes I'm guessing it was here local also..
The top of the label reads. "Our only Product" Continous Measured Quality Content Safe guarded. Uniform Cleanliness. Flavor IN BOTTLES Coca cola bottling Company of Louisville Ky I will definitely enjoy it. Thanks guys |
