Title: Ideal 55 Yellow Generic Post by: johnnyselman on November 22, 2012, 06:42:10 pm Hey guys I just picked up this complete generic Ideal 55. The original color was yellow. I was figuring probably an RC but after seeing Bonovox's Squirt 55 , it got me thinking, Is there any other brands with Yellow like this. Its a nice solid straight box so I was toying with the idea of a full restoration. I know alot of u say they are hard to do and not realy worth it but I hate to part it out.

@ to see if I can make out an old decal outline. Thanks, Johnny Title: Re: Ideal 55 Yellow Generic Post by: Slapshot42 on November 22, 2012, 11:20:46 pm Check the Crown Opener below the capcatcher...
Creighton helped identify one for me that way. He picked up a Ideal 35 for me that was converted to Pepsi but below it was a different color and the crown opener was Canada Dry.

There is four holes where a sign once was . So there maynot have been decals originally .
