Title: Soda Coolers and related items
Post by: mznb1u on September 05, 2008, 07:32:58 am
This E-Bay seller has some interesting soda items although I don't know about his prices.  That Grapette cooler would be a beauty restored to it's original condition.

Eric,   Did you see the Nesbitts Quikold Standard?  Very nice....

He is a very creative writer. $50 for a   Standard missing the  lods  cap catcher and has a rusted  out tank. But, it's a rare classic.

The Grapette cooler is very nice and may be an S&S/Quikold, but without the cap-catcher or lids...
So is the Nesbitts cooler, but $2500 seems a little high to me!

I agree...a bit pricey, but at least 3 would be great additions to the collection!  I especially like the Quikolds, probably because I don't yet have one!   :down:

Nice, but I'm not sure that Grapette is embosseds.. looks like a painted on logo to Me, but It's early and i just got up , so maybe can't see to well yet?

wow.... so that's where all the Quikolds are.....
Would love to have the Nesbitt's... but 3 grand... I'll pass....
the Grapette is a master missing some hard to find parts
looks like a different embossing too...the eariler had “Close to Nature”
along the bottom of the outer oval.
Openers are almost impossible to find for Quikolds... most just throw
a StarrX on them... Doubt he'll be selling those....
He paid 3 years ago for that?... John just missed one by 10 minutes
a couple years ago... for $200! Aggghhhhh!  :wow:
