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.

Title: Re: Soda Coolers and related items Post by: Kilroy on September 05, 2008, 08:59:32 am 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.
Title: Re: Soda Coolers and related items Post by: Jim on September 05, 2008, 09:28:28 am 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! Title: Re: Soda Coolers and related items Post by: sodaworks on September 05, 2008, 01:33:08 pm I agree TOO high
Title: Re: Soda Coolers and related items Post by: GreginNM on September 05, 2008, 06:18:23 pm 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:
Title: Re: Soda Coolers and related items Post by: SIGNGUY on September 06, 2008, 06:57:54 am 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?
Title: Re: Soda Coolers and related items Post by: Eric on September 06, 2008, 09:45:54 am 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: |
