Got from an abandoned restaurant/bar. Don't know much else. They have been there at least 40 years I think. Not sure what to do with em.

I’ve recently started collecting Coca-Cola cans, specifically full, unopened ones. However, when I looked on eBay, I noticed that almost all older cans are either opened or have a small hole used to drain the contents.
That made me wonder: is it actually impossible, or at least impractical, to store sealed cans of soda for 20–30 years?
Intuitively, it seems like sealed cans should have higher collectible value, since they’re more difficult to store, preserve, and transport compared to empty ones. Because of that, I’m surprised there aren’t more examples of long-term sealed cans available, and I’m unsure whether I should focus on collecting them in this form at all.
I found this while cleaning my garage and I was wondering if this is worth anything, since it says limited editio.
What do y'all think of these?
Recently discovered they existed and now I want one. Shipping costs are horrid on eBay though
Any help on value would be appreciated. These were inherited from a relative who passed away but worked for Con Edison at the time when he originally acquired these.
This Westinghouse Coca Cola cooler made in January 1940 doesn’t seem to fit neatly into one model category - too long at 69” for a Master, too old for a Giant. What the heck is it? I’d love to find images of an original or restored version that includes whatever went in the middle- I’m assuming it was the wet bath cooler?
Hey everyone,
I just pulled this vintage electric Coke chest cooler out of a garage here in Canada and am trying to learn a bit more about it before I decide what to do with it.
As you can see in the photos, it’s a Canadian model made by Kelvinator of Canada Limited out of London, Ontario. The data plate shows Serial No. 472175. It’s currently unlocked but I don't have the key. The inner liner looks pretty good and it still has the original built-in bottle opener and cap catcher hardware intact.
It's the original paint and honest patina/surface rust. I haven't plugged it in yet to test the compressor, and it's completely untouched and uncleaned right now.
Does anyone know the exact model number or the specific years Kelvinator produced this style? Any idea what a fair value range is for it in this "as-is" unrestored condition versus if I test it and it runs?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
Hello, I cannot find anything this size to compare my ice chest with for value. It’s 68x24x33. The largest I can find on the market is 44” length. Does anyone know how I can price this or find other comps? It cannot be the only one. Thanks!
Sorry if this is a dumb question. I obtained 3 of 5hese posters from my grandpa awhile back and never really looked at them. I want to keep them as a keepsake anyway (was thinking of framing them) but was just wondering if they are reproductions.
I'm guessing they are, as they seem like normal poster material which I don't think existed in the 40's but I'm not positive. Also rolls up like a normal poster and seems in way to good of condition. There is 0 chance this is original right? It does say copyright 1940's in the corner , but I'm guessing just reprinted it on.
I have 2 others the same size just like this with different images (play refreshed and hello refreshment)
Thanks for your help!
Hi,
Pattern 3141
9 rolls
The "Beach & Transport" Pattern
Price?
Funny production error on Factory 😉 any interests?
Can anybody tell me more about this? I got it at an antique store outside of Atlanta about 20 years ago and have had it mounted next to my fridge ever since. Recently moved, and made sure to pull it off the wall before I left my old place. It says “Starr X Open Here” on the bottom front and Made in USA on the back. It is magnetic, so guessing it’s not an aluminum reproduction. Would love to get some more info like approx. when it was made, was it some type of promo product, etc.
