I have a friend who restored that exact cooler. I believe he sold it but I will ask him if he has any pictures of it. It looked beautiful.

Awesome find at a great price!  I'd have been all over that one as well!  Can't wait to see it redone...I love the colors that Eric suggested!!

Congrats!.... Go original in restoring something like this... What I suggested I would think would be close.... The lids would be, I bet, close to Westinghouse lids which they repro and may fit...
same as the cap catcher...
Post some close ups of the embossing when you get it....
SWEET SCORE! Way to end the year! happydrinkers

Great Score! According to the soda machines section on this site The PELCO Koolie 99 had sliding lids. I would measure the cooler and see if the stainless lids to a later model Quickold or S&S cooler will fit. You should be able to find the lids without too much searching.

Looking at the corners and the shape and location of the bottle opener I still think it might be a Pelco koolie 99 ? But confused about the lid and no casters .

Sure looks like it! Casters were often optional, so without would not mean anything.

I'm also leaning toward a Pelco 99.  The plastic pvc piping   is a giveaway sometime in  it's past,  it was doctored to be kept in use, so  the original sliding lids were  prolly replaced  If replacements that fit can't be found, i don't think it would be to much to have new ones created or  to modify  repop parts.
That said,  it looks great, and you got a heckava deal, it won't take much to bring her back to pristine  condition
