Nice find. Was that on ebay? I'm still looking for one for the back porch. Wish I could help you out, but I'm over here on the East Coast. Make sure to post pics when your done.

for me and I could store it for you. The Chigago thing I not sure about yet. :upside: Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Eric on July 13, 2008, 10:11:11 pm Thanks guys... Pat I have to call him tomorrow and see what we can do on it...
I may have him just take it apart.. he said he could... looks kinda rough but for the price why not It was on eBay.. $45... But if not will give you a call Pat and maybe work something out.... maybe they could hold it till you're out that way and not have to make a special trip just to pick it up. Weird brand.... makes you wonder what is all out there.... Never heard of it... But thought it would be cool to have another little brand in the collection... it's just block looking font and I've looked at their soda bottles and a sign to get an idea of what /how to restore it..... it looks to have been originally yellow... but I'm thinking of going the Orange Crush route and do a cream lettering, orange body and black base and lid.... We'll see.... Again thanks... Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: MoonDawg on July 13, 2008, 10:20:29 pm Awesome...........simply awesome the Quickolds you have been finding lately Eric!
Good work Buddy! :biggrin: Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Jim on July 14, 2008, 04:50:01 pm Very cool embossed cooler!!!
As stated, another example of what is still out there... Do you know if the bottle opener is blank or has "Orange Squeeze" embossing...? Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: mznb1u on July 14, 2008, 08:38:15 pm Eric,
Very nice cooler! I'm not familiar with the brand but very cool! I am in Brighton every day of the week and could easily pick it up and store it for you. I will not be getting out to Chicago anytime soon but I do get out to Grand Rapids on a regular basis. Perhaps there is a member in GR that I could hand it off to on one of my trips and that would get it fairly close to the Windy City! Let me know, I would be happy to assist! Tim Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Eric on July 14, 2008, 09:10:05 pm Thanks guys for helping out... This is awesome... is either you guys (Pat and Tim)
going to the Chicago Coin Op showin November?... I"m coming for sure... gotta drop off my 56 I'm gonna have them send the opener so I can get it chromed with some other parts. They said they could tarp it till Novemebr for me so if one of you guys could swing by before coming to the show? Let me know what we could work out.. If not I can just road trip it's somethig nlike 5 hours.. And he's suppose to have a heck of a collection of Gas/Oil collection It's Cheese who has it many of you guys may know who he is.... Seems to be a great guy. The opener is a blank Quikold version.... compressor's missing, the lids are a little beat up and they welded hooks on each end to hoist into the barn loft after use.... he also said there are a couple .22 holes in each end but nothing serious..... They got it in a gamp pump collection deal it was up in the loft and from the looks the rope must have broke a couple times :wow: The plan is to grind the hooks back off... fill the holes remove both end cut the base down to the size of a junior and possably the tub too depending on condition.... take the junior sides and lid I have and the extra cap catcher and make a Orange Squeese junior. Can't tell from their images if the letters have much character... look just like squared off letters but hopefully I can make it pretty cool looking.... We'll see... Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Pat Pixley on July 14, 2008, 10:37:48 pm I know Cheese , I've been to his home for the Gas show and cook out
I can pick it up for you . Eric if you dont mind plus I would like to visit with him :smile: and maybe we can work something out. maybe we can meet up in Michigan City. Tim If you don't mind also like I said I want to talk to Cheese :smile: Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Seven181 on July 14, 2008, 11:28:47 pm Eric,
Nice! You are still hunting, eh? My Dad is coming from MI to Kansas in two weeks. He is bringing me some stuff so I could have him bring it with him. Where is it located in MI? Let me know and I will have him bring it. Brian Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: mznb1u on July 15, 2008, 12:35:59 am Pat,
No problem. I just wanted to make the offer because I am in in Brighton all the time. Anyway--it sounds like the guy has quite a collection and I don't need to be tempted to buy something else that he might have. Always willing to help out where I can though! Tim Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: dr galaga on July 15, 2008, 07:42:21 am Do you know the dimensions of it? I live a half hour from Michigan City. If it will fit in the back of my Dakota (has a cap on it) I could meet Pat in Michigan City some time and bring it to the Chicagoland Show.
Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Pat Pixley on July 15, 2008, 01:43:21 pm Well there you go Eric a few option's (curtian #1) Brian and his Dad
or (curtian #2) Me picking it up and then meeting up with Brent in Michigan City, and he can catching you at Chicago Land in Nov. or you could always wait and see what behind (curtian #3) :tounge:. It's your call :wow: Title: Re: Brighton, MI to St. Louis/ or anyplace Missouri Post by: Eric on July 15, 2008, 08:35:47 pm Ha! I think I'm gonna try for Curtain #1... I have some parts for Brian's Quikold Junior... So we're gonna try and meet up in Missouri somewhere and trade off... But if it doesn't work out
I'll post again... Thanks you guys for helping me out.... AWESOME GROUP!!!!!!! :happydrinkers: |
