Title: Coca-Cola Standard Cooler Post by: Eric on November 09, 2014, 08:29:40 pm Been a while since I've bought anything... This is my favorite cooler/chest Coke put out. I had one a few years back and had to part with it...
This one popped up at an auction a few hours away from me. It had been in a vacation lodge near the Lake of the Ozarks. The lodge closed in 1963 and was pretty much untouched, the place was a time capsule. I missed out on the Dual Victor V gumball machines that sat in the lobby but this cooler, dated 1941 and a Master cooler, dated 1936 were found buried behind boxes and stuff in the basement.. It cleaned up pretty nice, it has some scratches and stains and could use a buffing... But no dents, a little surface rust and a clean tub... a nice survivor and keeper. Here are a couple before and after pics. Title: Re: Coca-Cola Standard Cooler Post by: HowDueYouDue on November 09, 2014, 08:35:51 pm Cleaned up pretty good. Congrats
