Please help identify and value

I found this near me for $249 but I'm not sure who makes it and when it was made or what it's worth.

Any help is appreciated

Thanks!

This is a late model/2001 series Coca Cola retro style Ice "tub-Cooler" it was released for use in retail stores as a "point of sales" display cooler, and in my opinion not worth over $50.00, it has an insulated plastic liner, but it never came with a lid/top, cute as a nice patio cooler, but not $249.00 worth of cute..


PS I also recall the Coca~Cola logo's & the Coke "wave" design are 3-D plastic ( they aren't truly "embossed") & finding one of these coolers with them intact is a treat, as they are easily damaged and are usually knocked off the cooler, the main exterior body or "tub" is real galvanized steel if I'm remembering correctly, it does have a drain hose as shown with a simple hose-clamp to prevent the melt-water from piddling all over the floor.

They show up on Craigslist  often, much cheaper than $249.  And ask around the local  sotres, the corner shop may have one in the backroom. The  7-11 on the corner where I loved tossed it to the dumpster before the summer was over,  Like John said, no lid, so it got messy unloading the unsold bottles, dumping the water and refilling.

Thanks guys. My sister found it for me but couldn't tell me a lot about it. I didn't think it was worth $250 but you never know so I figured I would ask. I can't hurt. She also found an 1996 Olympic Coca-Cola Bottle Top table with the plastic chairs and the umbrella for $250.

If you want the table go for it but otherwise I would stay away from it. Even though its from the olympics it s not valuable. Everything newer was pumped out in such high numbers and maid so cheaply it will probably never be valuable.
