Title: Another Pabst Cooler emerges...
Post by: SIGNGUY on December 28, 2017, 10:02:04 am
this was brought up in 2007,, and here is another one... The previous conversations lead this to the majority thinking it was made for Pabst Rootbeer? as not a lot of embossed Beer Coolers have been found.
pretty sure it's a Quikold Master based on the lid design..

this one is much nicer than the previous one found... I think I'll have the chance to restore it in the future...

any other thoughts or suggestions are appreciated...

I don't think it's a Quikold model... doesn't have the darts/indents along the bottom edges or the little corner support pieces underneath...
Also most Quikolds I've seen have a seem along the side edges where they are bolted together... their support base bars along the underneath
for stacking crates or whatever aren't that design either they are wider and flat...

Cool cooler though...

i agree with Eric, don't think its quikold, it doesn't have any of the tell-tale signs.  Damn cool though! If that was done up right would be one hell of a cooler, you could probly sell it to a hipster in brooklyn for a small fortune

Here's a beer can with correct font for the name.. this ribbon would be nice on the sides of the cooler...
