I saw that on Ebay and was bidding for the cap catcher and the lid. Flip it over and shoot a pic and we'll definitely be able to tell you.

Definately a hacked up Junior.
If it were the true half Junior, there would be handles on each side and no cap catcher.

Yes, no handles on the side so I do not think it is a junior. Also, according to the book, it is bigger than the junior but smaller than the standard? I will take a pic of the bottom, looks like no legs were ever there? Nothing hacked off on it, just a drain and a solid bottom??

These "cut-off" juniors appear a lot. They are not the work of a
bunch of drunk college kids hoping to store cold beer in their dorm.
      WWII involved sending Coca Cola in bottles to our troops
overseas......which in turn increased morale for the young men.
      Sending coolers was costly, so Juniors and standards were chopped by the US Government to be stacked high for shipping.
      When the war ended........home came the troops and all their
equipment

Glen,

Thanks for the history! Sounds like you are all over it! I looked and on the bottom of the cooler is the id tag, saying, Westinghouse Inc and made for Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola bottlers.
