One-of-a-kind cool Coca-Cola cooler from the 1950s. in white and red colors.

About the Item

This is a beautiful and rare vintage metal cooler for Coca-Cola bottles from the 1950s. (Drink Coca-Cola very cold!) It was manufactured in México by The Vendo & Montiel Co. (embossed on many sides), a joint venture of "Vendo Company" and the local "Montiel" metal workshop. The cooler was used with ice and kept bottles "Bien frías" (very cold). Found in a warehouse, it has been hardly used and is in a very good condition, with no rust or humidity stains. Some scratches are visible, as well as a minor loss of paint and small dents. At the bottom, there are some minor rust /drag marks. Coca-Cola collectibles are common in red, while the combination of white and red colors is not an easy find. A one-of-a-kind cool cooler!

Located in West Palm Beach, FL
1960s Coca-Cola Trade Sign: 'Drugs & Soda'  Salvaged from a pharmacy on Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, Florida  A piece of Americana history: a 1960s Coca-Cola Trade Sign advertising "Drugs & Soda," salvaged from a pharmacy on Clematis Street in West Palm Beach, Florida.
