Pepsi Progress A1 Cooler

It is difficult to find this cooler today. It was manufactured in the late 1940’s, which can be determined by the design of the Pepsi-Cola logo. Prior to 1951, two dots separated the words “Pepsi” and “Cola”. This logo is referred to by collectors as the “double-dot”. After 1951, a single dot was used.

This model has a single lid handle, in addition to a large handle to carry the cooler. This cooler, like many others from the 1940’s, was painted gray. This is believed to have been for use on US Navy ships during the war.
