Coleman cooler age

Postby suckerpunched » Mon Dec 06, 2010 5:06 pm

Hey all....since I found my 1953 200a lantern I've been on the lookout for any old coleman stuff...found a cooler at the DI yesterday for eight bucks. It is green metal and plastic bottom with the diamond pattern on top and diamond logo on front. It has a magnetic latch and bottle openers in the handles....Abit rough but useable. No lettering or dates on bottom. Some research leads me to believe it to be from the 60's but with the mag lock I don't know. Will post picture as soon as my new computer arrives....any ideas on the age???
Thanks....TC

I would say 50's if it has the diamond logo.

TC - Here's a link to a similar question that I posted a while back. There was a good reference in it to figuring out the date on the cooler. Yours sounds kind of similar to mine which turned out to be a 63. I'm guessing from you description that yours may be from the 60s as well. Here's the link.
