Here's my fairly common, 1950's possibly late 40's coca cola picnic cooler made by the action mfg co. Bought this at a antique market for I think $65 or $85. I can't remember. I've always wanted the cooler with the art deco style "DRINK". That's part of the reason I think it's from the late fortys. Like 1948-49. It's in rough shape, I think it's missing the tray, and the really cool part is you can see some circles on the bottom were bottles were! Dying to here what everybody else thinks.
i have the same exact one just in better shape......and like u said it only Says "DRINK".
When I was a kid we used ours and I remember not being able to move it by my self.
I know, arn't they heavy?
Hey Ray, if your out there, can ya answer this for me? At an antique mall, they were selling a 1929 glaslock full size cooler, in pretty decent shape, maybe a good/fine condition, for $800, is it a good deal?
I would if I could, if you want it, it's at the williamston antique market in williamston, michigan. It would probably be a long journey though. It is all original and un restored. missing cap catcher though I think, and not an oringinal starr bottle opener. The sign is pretty good condition and is just gorgeous!
I can email you all the info if you want.
sorry, all the four panels are there yes
you are correct it is in very good shape, I have the same cooler. Yes yours is missing the inner tray I was lucky mine has it's tray. I absolutly love these coolers I have been trying to locate one for years and finaly got lucky
FYI these coolers are really common in southern ontario. i see them in this condition for 10-20$. i think its because they were made in toronto or atleast the ones i always see. check mine out when you get a chance got it a second hand store lol.
Well, this one isn't made in canda. It's an action cooler, the american version of these coolers. I probably paid retail for it, but I really wanted a cooler for my collection. Usually, it's a good thing to buy less then retail, so you can resell it and get more stuff. But I'm still a begineer, so I don't really care.
I have one just like this sitting on the front porch. I think I will take better care of it!
