Title: There is another one.... Post by: collecture on November 02, 2013, 11:28:53 am It is the same cooler as what I own, but mine has a DP brick logo sign on the front.

Current auction cooler is below mine. I bought mine back in 2003 in CA when I was picking up some machines. The guy had started to take it apart and abandoned the project. I paid $50 for it I think.

Title: Re: There is another one.... Post by: collecture on November 02, 2013, 08:31:55 pm Neat Cooler, Does yours have the tray Tom? I saw those brackets on the current auction; however, mine did not have any remnants of the tray. This is the only one like mine that I have seen since I bought mine 10 years ago. I wish I had gotten to the guy before he ripped it apart. Here is a pic he sent me of it prior to dismantling it. Title: Re: There is another one.... Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 02, 2013, 08:47:28 pm I made an offer on the one on eBay but doubt I will get it. I can fix the rust but that requires a lot of time and work. It would look great next to that unknown 1930s Coca Cola counter top cooler I bought a few months ago.
Title: Re: There is another one.... Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 03, 2013, 10:12:52 am The seller accepted my offer. Should be a fun project when time allows.
Title: Re: There is another one.... Post by: collecture on November 03, 2013, 10:50:59 am Congrats!
It is an uncommon counter cooler. Are you going to redo the brick logo or find a small brick sign like mine? What does you CC counter cooler look like? I don't remember it.

Post by: coke_and_stuff on November 03, 2013, 11:28:42 am Yes almost identical with the exception mine has handles on the sides. When I was stripping the paint mine was originally painted an off white color. Had black feet and the lid was black as well. Someone before they painted it gray sanded the box. So I will never know if it was originally a Coca Cola cooler but it will be restored like the one the Schmidt Museum sold.
Title: Re: There is another one.... Post by: sc1101 on November 03, 2013, 11:32:17 am That will look great. Good find there.
Title: Re: There is another one.... Post by: collecture on November 03, 2013, 11:52:30 am The black and white Coke cooler was auctioned from the Schmidt museum and sold for $1800 - I just looked back through the auction prices.
I did bid on it when it was happening, but it quickly surpassed my limit! Cool find Joey! I definitely would do it back to the black and white like the Schmidt cooler. I like that look as it is different. |
