Finally, I went back down to the guy and asked him if he was ready to sell and he agreed. This is the one I had been watching since the beginning of August. It is only missing casters, which I found out were optional. I have the cap catcher but it needs some attention (was hit by the plow guy) and the opener is the original Starr X. The guy said it was in "pristine" condition when he saved it from a garage that was to be demolished, he had it for about 6 years, stored outside (under his eaves). So I got it home and put about 6 hours of rubbing and polishing compounds and a nice coat of wax on it to bring back some glory.

I would agree, you brought back a lot of life to that old Standard. You just don't see these layin around anymore. You gotta love that double lid action too! So classic
Congrats Tommy. Looks Great!

Thanks Perry, Dave , and Trevor !!! This was my early Christmas present to me.
That looks awesome Tommy, great job buffing the "life" back into it! Super sweet spot to show off the vintage cases!
Nice find! and nice job cleaning it up, for me thats half the fun polishing it up. I'm hopeing to find one too, it's on my list.

Thank you trgru!!!
Hate to bring this up but you are missing a cap catcher that would have been under the bottle opener. Sorry.
Hey BrainTonic, read his discription.
Thanks kerry10!!!
Thank You packrat, cwork, and JunKMan!!!
Thanks REED, chevy and jamie!!!
I have this same coca-cola cooler and love it. I'm looking for the bottle opener and catch can for it. Yours looks great!
Thank You Salles, Spriteboy and Coorslightman!!!!
Coorslightman, you can the openers fairly easy on ebay, most are a little overpriced but they are there. Make sure you get the one with the date stamp, not the pat. number. As for the cap catcher though they are a bit harder to come by for a decent price!!
