Title: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: Jared on January 29, 2016, 08:46:34 am Thought I would share this with the group. I finished this a long time ago. Always thought it was a neat way to display the picnic coolers.

Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: Ross on January 29, 2016, 10:30:08 am Fun-Tronics has a reproduction stand. Is this what you used?

Cool!

Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: Jared on January 29, 2016, 02:24:08 pm Yes Brenda it is metal, bought it back in day from vintage vending, painted both together to match.
Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: ajf5577 on January 29, 2016, 02:39:25 pm I have an original Coca Cola coolerette stand. Back in the day they were really rare (priced accordingly)
The upside to these repros is that they are obtainable and you can make them match your cooler. Downside of course was the devaluation of the originals once these hit the market. We all take one for the team once in a while. No worries though :Oo: Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: MoonDawg on January 29, 2016, 02:52:17 pm I always thought these were a good idea.
The problem with most picnic coolers is they are too wide for a shelf, and too short to stand alone on the floor. Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: Creighton on January 29, 2016, 09:27:43 pm Know not of such things. Were the originals embossed?
Thanks! Creighton Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: BeaYoung on January 30, 2016, 11:22:47 am Could you post a photo of the original? 8)
Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: mygoose101 on January 30, 2016, 01:50:51 pm I sold these 3 for a friend of mine a few years back. They are very cool. Like Glen said, really a perfect way to display a otherwise large cooler. He kept one which he still has and it's a Coca Cola with embossed sides. Appears to be a original piece although I have never seen or heard of another one.

Makes me want to pull out the picnic ones I have and finally get around to restoring them.
Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: sc1101 on January 30, 2016, 05:54:27 pm I do remember hearing that vintage vending made a bunch of these back in the day also. Heres the one I found many years back. This one has the bottle opener and cap catcher on side. It's an older restoration but still shows well.
Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: Jared on January 30, 2016, 10:53:56 pm Always looked for a embossed original coke, no luck yet
Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: ajf5577 on January 31, 2016, 05:05:56 pm The originals were made by Acton Mfg Co and are embossed.
I started a new thread in the picnic cooler section and posted pics of mine. Title: Re: Royal crown coolerette stand Post by: BeaYoung on January 31, 2016, 08:41:46 pm No good way to display, has kept me from buying several really nice coolers.... Will have to start looking for stands!
