This beauty arrived in the mail today. A recent eBay purchase. Filled with over 400 pages of coolers, vending machines, picnic coolers, trailers, umbrellas, aprons, premium/promotional items, matchbooks (actual samples attached), bottle racks, transistor radios, pen sets, ashtrays, lighters....on and on. Just amazing merchandise to order from the late 50s, early 60s.
I think I'm gonna order some. I'm telling you, there's got to be some long forgotten warehouse in Atlanta, Tennessee or North Carolina with crates full of this stuff!
The condition of this is almost mint. Pages are crisp. No bent corners. No musty odor. Just a beautiful binder filled with a ton of items.
There's also a section on ordering Coca-Cola fabric by the roll and has an actual swatch of fabric attached to the page.
And check out the Mustang sitting on top of the four coolers. And the "Roll-O-Vend.
