MINT, NEW OLD STOCK IN THE BOX. VINTAGE 1950’s Hamilton-Skotch, 10 x 9 KOOLER METAL w/ GLASS Liner MINT in BOX. History Hamilton-Skotch was founded as the Hamilton Metal Products Company in 1919 in Hamilton, Ohio. It was formed by Louis Piker, J. Hamilton Sheet Metal produced mailboxes and other sheet metal-based goods, while Schlichter Manufacturing was primary known for their Climax brand food graters. After the merger, use of the Climax brand name expanded to their sheet metal products, like tackle boxes and filing boxes. Skotch Koolers Their most famous product was the Skotch Kooler. The design originated from a minnow bucket, a bucket used by fishermen to store living fish they had caught. The company was in debt, needed to expand its product line, and a minnow bucket seemed like a sensible choice, as they were already an established maker of tackle boxes. The product failed to sell well, due to existing competition, so the bucket was used as a basis for a cooler instead. While the product was an excellent cooler, its unique bucket shape was unfamiliar to consumers used to seeing rectangular coolers, and the original styling was nothing special. In 1951 the company hired Petra Cabot to restyle the cooler. The new design featured a distinctive red, black, and yellow plaid decoration, leather accents, and Cobat’s signature around the edge. At that price, sales more than doubled. It became so recognizable that the company eventually rebranded itself the Hamilton-Skotch Corporation and began using the Skotch name on many of its other products. Fate The Hamilton-Skotch Corporation failed to weather the industrial transition that swept the United States in the mid-20th century. By 1970 it had closed its Hamilton plant and moved what remained of its production to its existing facility in Ottawa, Kansas. By the late 70s its trademarks had lapsed and all of its products had disappeared from the market.
