Original reference photography from the Cola Machines archive. Select any image to inspect the machine, mechanisms, identification plates, and restoration details.
This reference catalog documents 5 Hurty-Peck machines. Surviving model records include production information spanning 1920 to 1931. Model-specific archive photography survives for 5 of the 5 entries.
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.
Hurty-Peck company history
Preserved background
Archive documentation notes that Hurty-Peck was located at 1413 – 1423 Naomi St in Indianapolis, Indiana.
They are an obscure manufacturer that may have only produced one cooler model, referred to as the Oak Cooler. I can only guess at when this company produced the coolers, but based on literature, my guess would be between the late 1930's possibly into the 1940's.
What the machine archive shows
Evidence by model and date
The dated archive currently runs from Hurty-Peck Sidewalk Cooler (Lates 1920's – Early 1930's; discontinued in 1931) through Hurty-Peck Sidewalk Cooler (Lates 1920's – Early 1930's; discontinued in 1931). It contains 5 model records, 1 with recorded production dates and 5 with surviving model-specific photography.
The documented production footprint is distributed across 1920s (1). 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 5 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.
