This profile combines preserved company background with evidence from the individual machine records. Dates and model counts refer to documented examples in this collection, not an assertion that the catalog is complete.
Beverage Air company history
Preserved background
Archive documentation notes that Beverage Air built coolers in Spartanburg, SC; Punxsutawney, PA; Brookville, Pa throughout the late 1960's and 1970's.
It appears they built non-coin operated coolers, both horizontal and vertical glass door versions.
What the machine archive shows
Evidence by model and date
The dated archive currently runs from Beverage Air BA-12S (Late 1960's – Early 1970's) through Beverage Air SF49S-W (Early 1960's, 1964). It contains 12 model records, 12 with recorded production dates and 11 with surviving model-specific photography.
The documented production footprint is distributed across 1960s (12). These totals describe this archive—not necessarily the company’s complete output—and will change if additional period records are recovered.

Research note: Profile scope is 12 archived machine records. Company background was independently restated from the site’s preserved manufacturer overview; view the archived source. Dates, photographs, and model counts come from the linked records. Where the preserved evidence is incomplete, the page says so instead of filling gaps with conjecture.
