This is a vintage coca cola cooler. It is unrestored and was curious how much someone alot more knowledgeable than me could tell me about how much it's worth. I remember it as a kid and it sat in my aunt and uncles' store. But it has been sitting in their barn for over 30 years now. Just curious about it, It was made by Beverage Air and the serial number is 5 24272 71. Any thing anyone could tell me about this thing, I just think it's kinda cool.

This is from the 1970's. Too new to be valuable or collectible. And it would be a waste of money to restore. Pretty much anything with the "wave" "Dynamic Ribbon" logo is too new and not highly sought after. Let it sit for another 30 years...
Ray is right once again
Not a huge collector value, but is useful to people who want a cooler if it still runs. Not running worth 125-175, running 300-350. Big collectors don't care about them, but not worthless. Restoration not worthwhile if not running as compressor repairs can run 300+.
