Title: two very cool s&s coolers
Post by: mrsoda on March 09, 2009, 04:00:34 pm
Thought i would show everyone two of my nicest coolers i own,  The cleo is all embossed, the whistle was a plain cooler, which i had restored by rms vintage , he has a great artist who did all the art work by hand. Took the art work off an old picture of a whistle cooler from a catalog, they were never embossed on the whistle brand. The cleo, every part of the picture was embossed, bought this one from keith of vintage vending, it was unrestored  from  his collection, curtis powdered coated the body. and he sent the panels to a friend who does custom painting on bikes, they did a great job, but cost a lot to do and it took a very long time to get done, but i love it.

Fantastic.... How about sharing some more pictures with us... I know Curtis posted quite a few a while back. Since then there have been a few new members who I'm sure would appreciate a walk through...

Awesome, Jeff!  Those both are drop dead gorgeous!  I'm glad there are folks out there that can do that work, and folks that are willing to go to the lengths to get them done right!  Thanks!

Jeff,

Both are excellent examples of early soda/cooler advertising! Great pieces ! ! !
I'm going to visit with Rich one of these days...
