Coke1234
(67 items)
Bought this airline cooler 6 years ago. I don't usually buy restored Coca Cola items except for Coke Machines, but this guy just amazed me by his talent. He hand painted all the embossed letters. He said practice, practice, practice and many years later finally mastered the technique. It even has a little orange peel like the original. Flat screw heads with chrome handle and the opener with red letters and patent #. These coolers were small and were able to go on airplanes, hence the name. See how it fits into the other Coke collectibles. It looks like it came right out of the factory. I've always liked these. I know a guy who has an original in the box, but he will not part with it. But maybe some day. We all know somebody that has that magic piece.
The guy also restored the Coke machine in the last picture. Absolutely beautiful restoration done 6 years ago.
Very nice! Old cars get restored.....why NOT a cooler like this??
Merry Christmas!
