This 40’ double-sheathed wood reefer is brown with yellow sides and runs on Bettendorf trucks. Built in the 1910s for California Dispatch Line, this reefer was decorated for the Italian Swiss Colony Winery, producing Tipo brand red and white wines. Based in Asti, California, Italian Swiss Colony was a leading winemaker in California in the early 1900s. Purchased by Petri Wine in 1953, the company was then rebranded and merged multiple times. In 2015, the descendant company, Vitner, announced Tipo brand would be re-introduced to market.
