Title: RESTORATION BEGINS: #10 OF LESS THAN 50 IN THE WORLD EVER FOUND Post by: memorylane on August 29, 2015, 08:56:30 pm VICTOR KOOLER RESTORATION Starts Monday Aug. 31st 2015
Less than 50 were made in HAGERSTOWN,MD at the Victor Plant in the 1950's This is the 10th one found to date. a little over a year ago, Curtis Kauffman along with Larry Garland & Tim Williams traveled to TEXAS at a moments notice to pick up what was to be the 10th HOT DOG GRILLER ever found. Larry and I were back on a plane the next day leaving Tim Williams the task of bringing this rare treasure home. The Victor Kooler Grill is the most sought after Coca Cola piece in history to date and is considered the Holy Grail of Coca Cola.

Title: Re: RESTORATION BEGINS: #10 OF LESS THAN 50 IN THE WORLD EVER FOUND Post by: Larry on August 30, 2015, 12:29:50 pm That is a cool piece, but I would think a decapper would be my Holy Grail.
How many of the ten have you worked on? Title: Re: RESTORATION BEGINS: #10 OF LESS THAN 50 IN THE WORLD EVER FOUND Post by: memorylane on August 30, 2015, 02:18:37 pm Hi Larry....This will be the second one we found. The first one I restored is now at a customers place near Johnstown, PA

That one came out fantastic. I'm sure with your expertise, it will be awesome. Still waiting for your T.V. show to air. That would be cool.

Thanks!

We were offered to take over where Rick left off but declined. Left Field Productions wanted us for a different type of show but we were not interested.
Doing fine without a show at this time. We did have two contracts at the same time to pick from.
