Title: Identify these coolers...
Post by: Jim on September 09, 2014, 09:07:58 am
I'm at a loss about who may have manufactured these two coolers.

The Orange Kist has tin inserts and an embossed rounded-corner rectangle on each end below the inserts.

The other cooler has only two stainless steel trim pieces mounted vertically on the front. Also noteworthy, the openings for the inserts have rounded corners for all four openings.

Anyone...?

bottom one definitely early quikold standard, the top one I think is quikold as well, a transitional cooler between the s&s type to the standard

Yep.. bottom looks a generic standard Quikold.... does it look like you can insert panels on it?
What are the dimensions of those areas?
Is it for sale?

  Yes, I agree the bottom is a Quickold. I don't believe the top is though.

At the time, I thought the bottom was an early S&S/Quikold but wasn't sure because the stainless trim was different... It did appear to have removable inserts/panels.
The Orange Kist is similar in styling but definitely different if that makes any sense. Although, I like the Orange Kist, I didn't like it for $1K!
Thanks for the input too!

From what I know, the bottom one is a S&S Model D cooler
