I just need to get the cap catcher painted.  Yellow or Red for color?????  :glare: 8)

Thank you.  There's a few nicks and scratches from the older restoration, but overall sweet!  Any idea how many of these were made?  I know the coke's are one of my favorites, but common compared to some of the others.  Seems like 7ups pop up on occasion, but pepsi, dr. pepper, rc, orange crush seem very hard to come by.  Appreciate the input!

Looks good. Personally I would do the catcher in red.

A original cap catcher would be yellow to match the body... I would go yellow.
Good looking cooler.

  I know the coke's are one of my favorites, but common compared to some of the others. 


      95% of consumers are brainwashed with the term........"Ol' Coke Machine"

      You have entered the rare Quickold territory, where only off brands were offered.

      Of the Quickolds the smaller Junior is always the favorite, which has got everybody excited for you.

      Nice find but can you get us all a little bigger picture?

Very nice cooler, great embossing on it, awesome pickup.  I think the cap catcher could go either way, yellow would put more emphasis on the lettering, but red might look cool too.

Is this yours?... I can't tell from the small image... But this cooler's catcher isn't finished either...

Might be the one that I was lucky enough to have here for a few months a year or so ago. It did not have a opener or cap catcher on it, Super nice older restoration.

Thank you all for the info. I will get some better pics posted.

Yes it's mine. Is mine the correct cap catcher on it?


Title: Re: Royal Crown Cola Quikold Junior
Post by: Eric on April 27, 2015, 09:14:58 am
The one I posted?... If so it looks correct.. it should be flat on the bottom. This is a image of a original from the Pepsi junior in the book
(with the huge 5 cent embossing) He sent me pictures then Brian did one better and sent me his original from his 7up... I had 6 made, wish
I would have had more made. Then Rod has them made now...

I will have to look closer at mine. If it's not right I'd like to buy one from you or Rod. Can I have your cell to text in the future? Thanks for your help!
