Title: Need Help To ID Orange Crush Cooler
Post by: mygoose101 on February 24, 2016, 12:48:51 am
I went with a friend to visit a friend of his to see his collection this past Sunday. He was a sign collector, mostly gas but also had some soda as well. He lives on a acre and has collectibles scattered everywhere, very fun visit. He is a collector so nothing was really for sale. In one of his rooms he had a Orange Crush cooler. I will do my best to describe it and I'm hoping someone knows what it is. It wasn't for sale so I didn't want to ask if I could take a picture, I would have felt awkward. I thought this piece would good great restored so I am going to pursue it hoping he'd sell. He did say if he sold he would want at least $1,000.

First off it's a ice chest type cooler. The body, legs, and bottom shelf look exactly like the S&S 700. All 4 sides were embossed Orange Crush but it had panels like a Coke Glascock and the size of a Glascock Standard. Any help would be great.

That's very close Jim but not the same. The embossed letters were larger, almost took up the entire frame.

Those S&S coolers (and types) were made to put signs in of any brand. Is it the cooler with the curvy legs stamped out of the bottom plate?
I have that in Whistle and Royal Crown, but also seen it in just about any brand. Is your question regarding the signs themselves, Ray?

He is not ready to sell for a while so next time I go see it I will just take a photo. Will be easier.

S&S 700....panels slide in, one panel on each side.  Nice little coolers, hope you get the one you looked at!
