Title: Sebago Ginger Ale Quikold cooler
Post by: MaineT on November 03, 2013, 10:58:24 am
Sebago Ginger Ale Quikold cooler I just picked up. Local history, but not in good shape. Actually would be a generic. Not sure if it's worth fixing into a fantasy machine or parting out.

Wow.. old one... I would say just as the S&S went to Quikold... late 30s early, early 40s.. Opener should say S&S Company Limo Ohio along the bottom...
Be nice to restore back to what it was... why not?.. There is more than enough Coke and Pepsi coolers/machines out there.... Bring it Back
if solid enough.. looks to be all there with the exception of the catcher.... Nice find.

Any leads on a cap catcher? I checked funtronics and didn't see it. Guessing its a hard one to find

Check with Rod he's the only one who had them made he may not have posted them on the site.... he had a run a few months back.... call to see if he
has any left and he's the only one who made and carries the gasket.  How's the tub... and the outer rust... is it solid or rusted thin?
That could be a cool one if it's solid.

Outside is pretty solid, the inside tub is rusty and will need replacing.

To funny Tim I was just up at Point Sebago last month for a family trip. I Just made the connection... I Didn't know that local piece of history. Do they still sell Sebago ginger ale?

Not that I've seen, part of Dirigo bottling company back in the day. Long gone I think.

It may end up back as Sebago ginger ale... Or Moxie!!
