About Me

I've been collecting Coke cans since 1986. While not the biggest collection, I enjoy collecting unique Coke cans and bottles from around the world. I also have an unrestored Vendo 81 in my basement. It's been untouched in 13 years. One of these days I'll restore it to it's full glory. Please take a look at the photo gallery, and if you have a picture to share, go ahead and add it!

Old Coke Cooler from 1950's

I love this picture of an old Coke cooler from the 1950′s. You may notice that the colour on this photo is extreamly brilliant. I’m no potographer, but lately I’ve been reading up on a technique called HDR. Basically, you take multiple images taken using different exposures and combine them using software such as Photoshop or Photomatix. The result is a dramatic, extreamly defined, often brilliantly coloured photograph.

The cooler you see here is probably from the 50′s, although I can say for sure it’s not from the 40′s or earlier. The shape of earlier coolers was much more square. I have one of those for sale if you want it and live in Ontario.

    Someone just gave me one of these coolers little bit different but same item. Do you know where I could find out how old it is?

    hmm. Maybe kijiji.com or ebay? I’ll see if I can find a better resource.
