Hi All,
Has anyone ever done anything with an old Coke box that is made of wood with a metal liner? All it is is a cooler basically...no mechanics or anything, just a box. Is there a reference to those anywhere on these sites that might show a picture of these type things? Thanks. Sorry, I don't have any pictures right now, but will try and post something soon if I can get back to it.
Ken

There are several manufacturers/models in the Soda Machines Section... For the sake of brevity, post a couple of pictures and we can go from there in the hopes of narrowing down what you might be looking at... |

Sounds like it could be home made. Without pics, anything is speculation

Unfortunately, that's what I figured, you'd need pictures. I will see what I can do and get some this week and get them posted. Thanks!

Very cool pics!!! I saw the ones you're talking about. They're close, but the one I'm looking at sits on the floor and not on a stand like those shown in the pics. I really gotta get some pics to post!! Haha. I'll see what I can do over the weekend.

Why will they be broke up??? Is the museum going to sell out or is Coke going under??? Sorry, guess I may be out of it in the way of news these days.

Yep, sad but true, the Dad past away some time ago, & the mom recently, so per their wishes, the children are dispersing he majority via an Auction this September to benefit some of the couples charity's. I was staying at the Holiday inn next to the museum recently on business just last month & cauth them with the back doors open while inventorying & cataloging for the upcoming auction.
