And the vintage Coleman water jug/cooler. For me, it just wasn't a true picnic (or at least it wasn't in the '70s) without one! I remember having to tilt it to get the last bit of beverage from the bottom.

This was an iconic mainstay in the back of our station wagon on road trips driving from Chicago out west during the mid-late 70s. Crossing I-80 through Iowa and Nebraska we would stop at rest stops along the way to eat sandwiches or leftover chicken - usually some shake and bake my mom would make the night before we left and have water from one of these. Rarely did we stop for lunch or dinner at a restaurant. Breakfast though... we would always keep an eye out for a Country Kitchen or Happy Chef restaurant.
A mainstay to have on the floorboard when spending an East Texas morning or afternoon out in the middle of nowhere driving a farm tractor-- no air conditioning, no cab, no umbrella. Just the tractor, the sun, you, and dust, hoping someone will come and pick you up at the end of the day.
Yep...picnics and road trips.
And it often sat on the kitchen counter during summer months so we kids could get ice-cold water without having to open the fridge over and over again.
I won one like this at a school carnival when I was a kid. I was supposed to be asleep but I was listening to WLS and WLAC with it next to my pillow.
Reminds of the creepy Spooky Tooth cover:

We moved my mother and are cleaning out her house and a cooler jug just like this one from the 1960s was still there. i remember we used it often; especially with Kool-Aid.
I used to do construction pre-college and the old Stanley thermos kept soup hot on a cold day.
I accidentally dropped a few and boom…no soup for you!

During my 18 wheeler days, I had one* of the taller ones for coffee. Kept it almost too hot.
*one of a bunch. I kept dropping them-from big truck floor height. Crunch!
Roland DB-900 very rare. It has two 12" passive radiators in it. One per side.

I still see this ESD nightmare on-line but would never purchase this cavalier handling!
I could be wrong, but I doubt most will ever see “this” particular icon in our music rooms. Unless, of course, you’re in a Sex Pistol or Dead Kennedy tribute band, then this is right up your alley. Ironically, it’s actually for sale at a GC.
Somehow, the word “vintage” just doesn’t seem apropos for for this puppy!
