What is the bracket looking thinga majig on the right side of the cooler, a bottle opener plus? Or where the bottle opener was attached to catch the caps?

I believe that is where the bottle opener and catch can went. I do not know what it looked like though. if anyone can find a pic of one so I know what to look for I would be most grateful!!

Yes that is our Siamese cat named Heidi. She got that name because she LOVES to hide!

The cooler you have is a General Electric Standard... it came electric and non
I have the same non electric version....
Made in the late 1940s - Capacity is a 140 bottles
Looks to be the same model in the barn too... Hope you can get it.
I collect mainly soda machines and coolers... get more info from
soda-machines.com I hang out there quite a bit... another great bunch.

There is a Pepsi cooler (double the size) of this model right now on ebay...
Item number: 140268885860 up in PA...
Because of size I doubt it will sell you may want to offer to buy the cap catcher to complete yours maybe even a extra set of lids too...
Anyway saw that and thought I'd pass that along...

Only just saw this post for the first time. Terrific coolers!
Whiskeyman had a great story, the kind of thing that makes life fun. Hope that worked out. Cheers, Bob

Nice cooler[]... Just want to mention that those cap catchers can still have old caps in them. My friend found a bunch of old caps in his when he cleaned it up. Even though they got emptied, the sticky ones might not have come out. No exposure to the elements....
Just one more thing to think about.[]

check it out I come across this older pepsi-cola ice box rolling cooler with the bottle cap logo on 3 sides. I do not know anything about it. Have been searching the internet and cannot seem to find another one. Anybody have any ideas as to what I found? I am looking to restore this so looking for a paint code and the 12" diameter pepsi-cole decals.

Extremely cool stuff. I don't have any old coolers, but thought I would share this 1947 double-dot Pepsi acl like the one you mentioned. I will trade you my bottle for your cooler. Lol [] (Sounds like a deal to me).

I have one similar to that of a local brand that I've been wanting to get restored. Isn't it cool how the legs were punched out of the bottom? I think the brand may be an S&S. Post it here: http://soda-machines.com/ There are some pretty helpful people there. I think you got a nice one!
