As you can see by the “before” photo of this un-embossed cooler, it definitely was produced as Coca-Cola. This was a great little cooler with a detachable tray on the bottom where you could keep things dry. There also were places inside the lid for a can/bottle opener and an ice pick. This was a relatively small cooler with not much room for more then eight to ten bottles of Coke. Manufacturer is unknown.

Hi Rod,
If you find pic nic coolers in really nice or mint original condition it is best to leave them alone. If however you have a cooler that is in fair shape and has all the parts and wont be alot of work to restore it is probably worth restoring. Now if the cooler is rusted and dented and missing parts do not bother. It will cost you too much time and money to make it right.
Hope this helps.
Keith

do you have any info on pepsi picnic coolers? The one i have been looking at lately i’m unsure of its name, its bare alloy, flat lid hinged ,oblong shaped, the ends are polished alloy and the main body is ribbed alloy. In the center of the lid is a sort of clasp with a coke lid on it. On each end is brassy looking handles which can be removed one has bottle opener in it , any help would be nice, rgds rod
typo error pepsi lid on clasp not coke. rough idea of age would be good i suppose its not that old because the pepsi lid only has the one dot?
