This is an authentic Pepsi-Cola double-hinged cooler lid. The script features the iconic "Double Dot" Pepsi-Cola logo (note the two dots between "Pepsi" and "Cola"). This specific script style dates the lid's design circa 1940s to early 1950s. This piece belonged to a top-loading, double-sided commercial cooler cabinet.

Condition:
It exhibits heavy weathering with substantial paint loss, rust, and surface patination, giving it a distinct rustic, industrial look. Preserving the patinated look is preferred over restoration as collectors of such vintage soda memorabilia often value the original weathered "patina." Cleaning it aggressively or repainting can drastically reduce its collector value.
