Title: Orange Crush Cooler ??? Post by: Funtronics on May 07, 2013, 12:49:31 pm Here are a couple of machines that I picked up over the weekend. Does anyone have any idea who made this Orange Crush cooler. There is no id tag on it and I have never seen this particular model before. It has sliding top lids.

I think JohnnyFizz has a few OC coolers from up that way maybe he can say what make it is... Title: Re: Orange Crush Cooler ??? Post by: ld26 on May 07, 2013, 03:56:49 pm whatever it is its cool looking

Much like the Daley 32 vendor?? The Orange Crush Cooler was made by the RODINATOR Company of Teutoplis IL.. Dates to around 1946.. Very limited run of these coolers and limted to Orange Crush only...

Post by: johnnyfizz on May 12, 2013, 09:23:53 am I have never seen that one.Very similar to a Quikold 1400 in size,but there are some differences.Interesting I've noticed that the embossed lettering and actual letters have slight variations between your cooler Rod and Quikold and even an Ideal cooler.Nice one in great condition
