    Started collecting these as a joke for work. I do HVAC. I'm now looking to see how many different brands are out there. I was able to find a "Handy Hannah" air conditionizer to pair it back up with it's can to replicate the graphics on the can.

      Totally cool. We had one of those cans! (Yes, only ONE - the Magic Cold on the bottom shelf, if I remember right!) Are they still full? Interesting collection & amazing you found the 'conditionizer'! Fun to have in a HVAC shop!

      ABSOLUTELY a cool (no pun intended, no matter how easy?) collection -- and even more-funner that you're in the HVAC trade -- I think I'd havta call that "joke" a success?!! <applause> My family had one of the "Iceberger" cans (next to Celiene's on the bottom shelf) years ago IIRC...and so WAY VERY COOL (no pun, again...) that you actually found the "airconditionizer machine" too -- I didn't have any idea that such a thing ever existed?!! :-):-) :-)

      Yes, all but one, Coleman, are full, as they should be. I have also found another machine called, Port-A-Temp, that also uses it's own ice cans to cool the air. There is another machine called Wilco-Therm, that also has it's own can to do the same thing, and I haven't located yet. There is very little info that I can find on the web regarding the cans or the machines.
      It's great to go into shops, ask the people if they have come across "canned ice", have them say no. I can tell by their face they have on idea about it! I then tell them what I know about it, which isn't much. Then they kinda remember seeing them.

      Nice collection :) love the graphics !!

      A friend wanted close -ups of the cans for his graphic classes. If you notice, most cans are blue or green. Both colors that your mind "sees" as cool!
