This is an extremely collectible and vintage Coca-Cola Metal Cooler from the 1950’s manufactured by TempRite Manufacturing Co. The Coca-Cola emblem in flowing lettering is embossed on each side of the cooler. Overall it is in very nice condition. These include a dent above the Coca-Cola emblem on one side, a dent on the lid by the handle, and a small dent on one of the silver metal corner pieces. These can be easily taken out by someone who works with metal if that is preferred. I always liked the way it looked so displayed it as is. These coolers are getting harder and harder to find, especially in the good condition this one is in.. The inside cooler measures 15.25″ x 10.25″ x 14.50 deep. The outside measurements are approximately 17″ x 12″ x 17. The cooler weighs approximately 22 pounds. Needless to say it is very heavy duty. Colors are still good, and it comes with the original sandwich tray. The cooler also has a bottle opener on the side as well as the drain plug. On the front of the cooler there is a metal tag bearing the serial number D 219. I have tried to research the significance of the serial number and it’s origin but to no avail. I have been told by other Coca-Cola memorabilia collectors that the coolers made by the TempRite Mfg. Are preferable since this company did not manufacture the Coca-Cola coolers for an extended period. If you have questions or want additional pictures please let me know. This item is in the category “Collectibles\Advertising\Soda\Coca-Cola\Coolers”. The seller is “van1953″ and is located in this country: US. This item can be shipped to United States.
