Title: Price guides - which one do you like and why?
Post by: BryanH on March 15, 2005, 10:00:46 pm
Just wondering which guide is a must have?  Is one better than another?  If so - why?

Are they good for valuation only or is there other good info?

I have Jeff Walter but it's the Second Edition... I don't know about the Coke one or if there are others.
What I like about Jeff's book is there are different brands and he rates the rarity.... As far as prices go
the second edition is out of date on some models (Such as the 81s, 44s, etc.) The third edition has been
updated with a few new, just found models such as the Whistle/Cleo Cola Quikold Standard! Beautiful Cooler!
Heck buy both but I'd say for differnet models and Brands... Jeff Walters.... He also had a book on picnic coolers.
I'm sure all are great resorces.

I have both and I think they are both great. If you want one for 60's machines get Steve Ebners since Walters book doesn't even touch square tops. But for round tops I like Jeff Walters book.
