The Dr. Pepper Guiberson “88” was produced in the late 40’s. It was a simple, rounded ice chest that held 88 bottles when full. The front two doors hid a place for empties. It was not embossed but had a porcelain sign on the front, so I guess it could have been made for any flavor, but we have only seen it in Dr. Pepper. Guiberson also produced an electric version of this that was a coin-operated vendor. I love this little cooler and I wish we still owned it.
Dimensions: 36.5”H x 25.5”W x 19.5”D

I have one of the sign off a Dr Pepper Guiberson”88″. It is in good condition with the rounded corners. Can you estimate its dollar value. Thank you

Mark,
We aren’t able to give estimates on the value of an item. If you keep an eye on Ebay or Craig’s List, your item is sure to be listed at some point. That may give you a rough idea of it’s value but keep in mind prices vary greatly depending on condition. If anyone can help with a value of this item please comment.
