Featured Age of Vintage Coca-Cola Cooler?

Hello Folks,

Recently acquired this cooler. Any idea of how old it is?

Thanks,
Joe

 

It would help to see the text below the Coca-Cola logo. It's probably 40's-50's.

 

Dad had one of those in the early 60's....

Just a WEE bit clearer.....

 

Thanks for the info! A little outside of my normal collecting areas but I was at a huge estate auction that had 70+ vintage soda coolers of various brands and sizes and thought that they looked pretty cool!

 

Needing assistance with a 1942 Cavalier Coca-Cola Cooler Restoration

Hello! I am new to the world of Coca-Cola refurbishing, but have a good bit of experience in refurbishing other items. From what I can tell, based on the measurements (34"H x 31"W x 25"D) and the date stamp inside the cooler, I have a May, 1942 Cavalier Standard Ice Cooler. I plan to refurbish this cooler, but was hoping this group could provide a little guidance on where to find an accurate parts list, as well as the most reliable sources for the parts too. Though there is quite a bit of obvious bodywork needed, I believe the only parts I need are the Cap Catcher and the Strip around the top that the lid sits on. Questions I have are: (1) What are the screws on the right-rear of the cooler for? Another Cap Catcher or an alternative location for it? (2) Was there any type of spigot handle or other mechanism on the front drain located under the cap catcher? Lastely, do you feel I am missing any parts I am unaware of?
Your assistance is much appreciated!

 

this thread is from july 2018.......... but maybe folks will revisit it..

 

very cool piece.. I'm not too familiar with coolers like this, but it has great patina on it. but it looks like the motor for the cooler would go on the bottom. the screws in the back maybe held a detachable shelf or rack of some kind, i am not sure what the actual purpose for the screws in the back were for.
