Green Cooler
The green cooler has become a recognizable part of Sam and Dean's personal belongings. It is a vintage Coleman cooler.
The specific cooler seems to be a model 5206, which was introduced in 1959 and 1960 and shortly thereafter discontinued, when Coleman introduced the full "Snowlite" line and began making them with a white base later in 1960.
Note: A similar cooler is seen is season 8, but they are slightly different models. It's hard to know if it's a deliberate change or the original cooler is missing and they replaced it with a similar one.
Also, Benny's cooler from 8.09 Citizen Fang is the same style as seen in 1.15 The Benders.
The cooler also featured in this video of Jared being doused in ice as part of a fundraising drive for ALS in August 2014 known as the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.
