Quikold Cooler Information

About Quickold Coolers

Quikold was a small company and subsidiary of S&S, another manufacturing company of the time. Both companies produced similar ice coolers in the 1940s and early 1950s. Still, Quikold also made some electrical coolers and the so-called sliders for Royal Crown in the 1950s. Both companies weren’t as popular as others of the time, however, they produced several chest-type cooler models that became staples and in large quantities, which makes them rather easy to find. They also produced embossed coolers for several brands like Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, and more, which makes them highly sought-after and valuable nowadays.

Quickold Cooler Models

• Quikold Junior: This was the smallest chest-type cooler they produced. They can be found embossed for Pepsi (with the classic 1940s logo), Dr. Pepper, 7-Up, Royal Crown, Double Cola, Orange Crush, and more. These were very common at the time and measured 36″ high, 22″ wide, and 18″ deep, and were made out of galvanized steel, which made them somewhat portable and very convenient. They have space to store up to 40lbs of cracked ice and 48 bottles. They were produced in the mid to late 1940s.

  Quikold Standard: This is the second smallest chest cooler from Quikold. They also can be found embossed for a wide variety of soda companies. Some of them are even embossed for two companies at the same time, as it’s the case of the Whistle and Cleo-Cola embossed Standard. They were 36″ high, 31″ wide, and 23″ deep, and have space for 96 bottles.

  Quikold Master: This is the second biggest chest cooler produced by the company. It had space for 144 7oz bottles and ice, and it measured 36” high, 39” wide, and 23” deep. It’s highly sought-after by collectors because it’s a rare piece.
