I found this at an auction a few months back and I got it to match my Coca Cola cooler that is the exact same style. Meant to post it on here sooner... This one runs but doesn't get cold (the Coke one works great..) and has minor cosmetic issues, but nothing significant. Thanks to tommy1002's source, we know that this was made in the early-to-mid 60s. I'll get this one to cool down and then put them inside next to each other!

Key to note.. this one does not have the bottle cap catching contraption that attaches to the front, which the Coca Cola cooler I posted does. This one does have the bottle opener. Maybe I can hunt one down.
Thanks officialfuel.
It's always good to have a set!! If you sign up or register with that link, I bet someone will be able to direct you to a cap catcher.
Thanks tommy1002, I will have to do that.
Thank you pickingupbones.
I'm just curious what something like this goes for? My parents have one almost identical that still works!
moppin47, I'm not an appraiser, but I paid $30 for this one and $35 for my Coke one just like it that works properly. That said, I would be willing to bet that they are worth more than that. No idea how much, though.
Thank you Kerry!
Your Welcome Jason, hope life has been treating you well.
