Another new addition to the Wolf Collection.
Look at this very cool Orange Crush Cart: Embossed orange crush cart form the 1940's was from dormey park pa, 
was in service until 1970  only one of it's kind. How Cool is this. First class restoration, wish I could take credit for this one, very nice Jeff.

30 years is a long service life. How did you happen upon such a cool piece of Classic Americana? I would love to see the before pictures.

Thanks for sharing

I wasn't going to say it, but I would have left it original too. We americans tend to over restore things, taking from them, there original charm, and the reason we were drawn to them in the first place.

most stuff just displayed. I run one soda machine and all the jukeboxes  run, they must be used or you get problems with the mechs.

Nice, but I too would have left it original.
I would have left alone, but a lot of bad rust on the inside from ice  over the years, i felt if i did not redo, one day would start to find holes thru the embossed panels.
