Title: coca cola coolers
Post by: david22726 on August 26, 2010, 02:09:43 PM
I have a Westinghouse Standard Coca Cola Electric Cooler in working order it holds 96 bottles. Does any one know anything about its value?

Are you able to post pictures David? A lot of different factors will impact value such as condition, year and model. :)
Also, any pictures of serial numbers or tags would help a bunch.

I can't post any pics because the file is too large if i knew how to make them smaller i could post them. There are no numbers on the cooler that i can find.

If you are able to email them, you can email them to me and I can shrink them.

Or, to shrink them:
Right-click on the picture one time with your mouse.
Go to "OPEN WITH", then click on "PAINT"
When you are in paint, go to the top and click on "IMAGE"
Then click on "RESIZE/SKEW"
Change both numbers to "50"
If you don't have paint or it is a different version than mine then maybe someone else can give a tip. :)

Nice Coke cooler!  Looks beautiful and in excellent condition.  I would think this would fetch $$$ or $$$$ from a Coke aficionado.  
This site http://www.nostalgiashowroom.com/back_to_the_50s.htm has a similar large one on sale for $1195.

Could you please post the size (dimensions)...that makes a difference in $$$$.

Coke items are very collectible!

The size of his cooler is 35.25 H X 41.75 W X 25.25 D . The above cooler looks restored. This is a original cooler that still works with all the orginal equipment.

I personally prefer unrestored items. I feel like restoring them takes away their history and makes them "brand new" again. Sometimes restoration is obviously needed, like when things are severely damaged or broken. Unfortunately, most people do want them "brand new" again if they are going to display them. Here in the Seattle area, yours would bring about $1,500 and it would get snatched up very quickly. They don't come up for sale often, so you may even find someone that HAS to have it and you will get whatever they are willing to pay. If you sell it, I'd ask $2,000. See if you get any takers. If not, let them haggle with you a little bit. ;)
