Here is one like yours just diferent script
Ok thanks Trey, i will try to buy it..
Are the logo and letters raised? It doesn't look authentic, more like a generic cooler someone attempted to repaint in the style of Coca-Cola. At best it's authentic and was restored by a butcher. But I don't think so. Doesn't look right.
I agree with Dave. The logo is very odd looking. Hand painted, non authentic piece.
Ok, thanks for your imput, the letters are raised but i had my doubts too, it's probably badly restored. It has a strange colour.
In the morning i go look at it and probably not buy it. If the have any doubts, don't buy. I already learned that (expensive) lesson before, lol
If the letters are raised then yes it probably is an authentic international model (didn't factor that you are in Netherlands). Very boxy compared to the old American coolers. And the spacing of "Drink" and "Ice Cold between the logo is different as well. Closest thing I could find was this espanol version.

Je suis désolé, that's a french version.
Thanks Dave, it looks the most like that French Airplane cest, has the same dimensions i think. But it's a strange colour, i will see it tomorrow again, so i will let you know.
I sold one very similar for $350.
Yes it's a real one, but the worst restoration ever(you can call it abuse with paint) , bought it anyway but very cheap. Gonne restore it properly.
