Title: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: johnnyfizz on March 17, 2009, 08:48:01 pm I just spotted this on ebay. At that price he must be dreaming.He doesn't claim if it's embossed or not the lettering looks a little iffy to me.http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300299680096&fromMakeTrack=true&ssPageName=VIP:Watchlink:middle:us

He does say it is embossed! Title: Re: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: johnnyfizz on March 17, 2009, 10:59:46 pm Ya I jumped the gun on that one. :darn: The price got me excited but what do I know about picnic coolers? I collect machines.

It's just too bad he is selling at a time like this? as his prices are just way too high for most people at this time... He has incredible stuff, but just too much invested into probably so has to sell so high.

Very rare little cooler. As a matter of fact, it's the cooler I was talking about with all the guys at the last Chicago Show, at Portofillo's.

Title: Re: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: RC kid on September 29, 2009, 08:43:25 pm I just looked for it and I couldn't find it. I guess it has already been removed from the listing.
I love coolers because they are so easy to restore and display. Little mini soda dispensers, but with out the coin mech. Title: Re: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: RC kid on September 29, 2009, 08:46:35 pm A couple more coolers.
But I have no orange crush as of yet. But someday, maybe, if I am lucky. Title: Re: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: SIGNGUY on September 30, 2009, 08:57:39 am RC Kid,
You have a real nice looking display there.. really looks nice! Title: Re: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: oscar on September 30, 2009, 09:14:04 am I wonder how stable the prices for these picnic coolers will be if they keep making repros? It seems like they come out with a new one every few years.
Title: Re: Orange Crush picnic cooler Post by: davethebirdman on September 30, 2009, 12:30:27 pm Wow... They are nice... That sign in the middle with the rounded edges I have one exactly the same mine had a wooden frame on it... Any idea what they were used for???

The Coke sign is one that was used in the 40's and 50's. Two were used, one on each end of the business name which was written on a long narrow porcelain blank. I have two white signs that are similar in size and I am looking for the long white portion so I can make my garage look like a shop from the fifties.
