My most recent ebay adventure, wasn't too hard to snag it. It had only one other bid, lol. I thought it might look good on my thermo wall, so I jumped on it.

I have the same one, also have the MCA version that are both 60's I think but my best one is the 50's one I posted. looks like you have a nice collection!
Thank you EJW for the like and kind compliment. I haven't forgotten to get that tray to ya, it'll be in the mail tomorrow, hectic work stretch ended yesterday!!!!
Tommy, that's a fantastic 60s Coke therm!!! Pristine baby, that's what I'm talkin bout! What is it about these Coke things that drive us over the edge, I love'em so
Thanks Perry !!! I don't think i did too bad for 23 bucks... Just like moths to a flame, LOL
Great thermo Tommy, nice buy! Walls are getting full!!
Looks good!
23 BUCKS! You THIEF!
Thanks Bernie!! I still have the " Empty South Wall Project" that can use some help. I'm building shelves in to house my carriers and such, but I won't let limited space hold me back hahaha. I was informed this thermo ( Donasco) is not the same as the 50's models we know and love. Robertson has the line on that, these ones are more recent. My very reliable source said more like an 80's model.
Still a nice piece, I've got the same one.
Still don't think you did badly tho. A cool therm.
That's an outstanding price Tommy. Beautiful Thermo. Fine display of signage too, that grouping looks great.
Thanks Dave, I liked the price and didn't have to fight for it, so it works on a lot of levels. If I can get all the originals to match my repops I'll be a cappy hamper for sure!! LOL
I have the same one too.
