Temprite 6 pack coca cola cooler

[coke_and_stuff]

I ended up picking this up last weekend in Ozark, MO I probably spent to much for it. The bottom is rock solid, It has a couple dents but nothing major and they can be worked out. It doesnt have a tray in the inside is it supposed to?? all in all I think its cool my first coke cooler. Any ideas on Value?



Thanks

Joey

Nice Temprite Jr.! does it have a galvanized liner, or the stainless-steel liner?

Not all coolers came with sandwich trays, some were optional,
I noticed that usually it's the smaller picnic coolers that don't have them, like your jr. while others like the "airline" never even had a tray to begin with.

if you look at the upper edges of the liner, you may see the scratch marks from a sandwich tray, (if it ever had one) were it would have slid into place at the top of the cooler.. :'>

No marks on the inside from a tray. The inside liner appears to be made from stainless steel. I figure i'll restore it while im doing a machine sometime. will look good next to my 81D

That's it!!!! I'm going to go to Ozark, MO More often! Can't believe Randy or Ross
didn't pick it up! That book price is a wish price now.... There's one here in
Eureka, MO for $375... Waiting for a Booth Sale! I have one but I got it in trade
for a Grapette cardboard! (I only had $25 in the cardboard) But that was 8 years ago too.

This model... I'm 99.9% sure didn't have a tray... Just enough room for six bottle and
some ice....Great score!
What was your price?......

Ross is the guy that has the booth with a few coke machines and coolers etc to the right of the front door of when you walk in? I cant remember the name of the store but it has a few signs on the front and one side. If thats Ross's booth I bought this cooler from that same store. I also believe Randy has a booth in there as well with a big banner for advertising.

Yep! That's Ross' booth? you bought it from him?..... Wow I think that's a
pretty good price. He usually restores before he sells... Yeah That Store and
the one down on the end are the best! Ross also has a place in Mansfield on the north
side of I-44 about 20 miles East of Srpingfield... A ton of stuff there and there
are 2 good malls also. And you've been to Randy's place... haven't been down all
summer....
Oh Yes!....there's a Antique care swap meet this Friday, Saturday and Sunday....
So Joey if you can.... you ought to hit that Friday early if you have a chance.
It's in Springfield on the fair grounds.... Ross sets up so you'll want to hit it before he combs through... Old gas pumps, pop machines, Jukes and candy machines pop up there.
I guess you could call Springfield info to make sure but I'm 99.99% sure it's this weekend!

Ross had $400 on his I picked it up in the same mall but a different vendor. more towards the back. I plan on going to Springfield this Sat. Ive sold there in the past. I wish i could go on Fri but I work 3rd shift so its not gonna happen. I also have a guy coming down from WI on Fri evening to look over some things to hopefully buy. Ive had more money going out than coming in the last couple months so I need to sell the things I bought to resell in the first place lol.
