Up for grabs, we have this vintage “Coca Cola” cooler from the 1950’s, After the realization that soda would sell better if it was chilled, Coca Cola retailers wanted to figure out a way to keep them cold, even before the advent of electric coolers, At first, it was done by using wooden barrel halves, which were filled with ice, These barrels would have a wooden lid over them and on the sides would have the Coca Cola logo stenciled on them…… Coca Cola stuff is pretty awesome and this cooler is a prime example of just that, it was made in the US and manufactured by the Progress Refrigeration Company….. Its a little beat up and has some noticeable defects, as you can see in the pictures, it measures 19″ by 16″, please feel free to ask questions and we will answer them promptly….
