Vintage Coca Cola Stadium Vendor Carrier, Metal & Embossed RARE
Vintage Coca Cola Stadium Vendor Carrier, Metal & Embossed RARE
SOLD $500.00 Sold: Aug 1, 2023 on eBayOriginal Listing Description
Featured here is a Coca Cola metal & embossed carrier used by vendors to sell Cokes in the stadiums. I believe it is double wall insulted, although I doubt the functionality of that now. Please refer to pictures for condition of carrier. It has been sitting for decades, all I have done is a wipe over with a wet, warm, soft rag. It has some rusty spots and dents, but this would look beautiful fully restored! One of the nail type bullets is missing, as you can see in picture, and there is a little area of extra wear on the bottom, inside, also pictures. This cooler has a metal divider in the middle, but it has come off and will be included in the sale (see picture) there is no original strap present, and I do not include a replacement. This thing is heavy, which I feel speaks to the quality of the item at the time of manufacture (30's and/or 40's) It is solid, bottle opener is on the side. It was definately used well, and STILL retains its study construction. Maybe used by a 13 year old boy trying to supplement his family's income and work as many games as possible? Maybe it was there at a famous stadium during the world series? This carrier is so unique I think it is interesting to think on where it has been and what its seen! (Condition: Pre-Owned)
Note: This item has been sold and is no longer available. This page serves as a historical price reference for Coca Cola collectors and appraisers.
