I just sent this seller a message through eBay to see if he could help ID the cooler I have further. Looks like he has a few Mexican coolers.

Good... I hope he has your cooler in another corner and will be able to help id yours and/or
knows what your cooler needs. He responded to me with eBay contact information for another guy who I had inquired about in my message to him. According to Steve Ebner, this other guy is in El Paso too and has the largest collection of import coolers in the USA. I just messaged him through eBay and hopefully will solve this mystery soon. According to Steve, this guy would be my best shot so I am excited to have tracked him down. I had even written a letter to Alan Petretti before I went on my recent trip, but it came back "Return to Sender". I used the address in his 11th edition price guide, which corresponded with addresses I retrieved off the web also. Oh well, maybe this latest development will pan out. |

Well I heard from the guy in El Paso today and sent him pictures of the cooler. When I talked to him earlier today he said he used to own a few hundred coolers, but sold off his USA stuff because it was just too common. Now he said he has about 50-60 import coolers only. So hopefully he has (or has a picture of) one like mine unmolested and I can solve the mystery of what this cooler looked like. I'll be sure to post his response to me in the coming days.  |

Well he responded with nothing new really other than I have the 4th one he has ever seen and he had 2 of them (sold them off though). He says it was a counter cooler and that only about and inch or so is missing from the bottom of mine. I really have a hard time believing that since the drain tube is on the bottom with no way to close it off. Water would slowly leak out all over the counter top if that was true, but it is Mexico so maybe that is the way it was?? And why would someone cut off an inch? I wrote back asking if he had any pictures of the cooler unmolested, so we'll see. He sent me a link to his PhotoBucket with a ton of cool cooler pics - I really like the tall Tome Mission cooler on pg. 2 of the 'coolers' folder and the embossed Tome Coca Cola upright seen in the 'Recent Uploads' folder (it looks similar to a Vendo 80). Also pictured is a Mexican Tome Coca Cola policeman school crossing sign, which I can't say I've ever seen one before. I asked if any of his stuff was for sale like the V-81D in the 'Recent Uploads' folder. He is not too far away in El Paso (6 hr. drive one-way). http://s35.photobucket.com/home/julian59 |

That's some very cool stuff.
I guess he does a lot of picking in Mexico.
I remember passing up anything and everything that came from outside the U.S. because I considered myself a collector of Classic Americana. Oooooh how I have learned. I should have bought that stuff up when I had the chance.
