Title: Very, very HTF cooler for trade. Holy Grail piece. Nesbitts Atlas 18 mint. Post by: Bigfoot on November 10, 2012, 04:34:22 pm Fellow enthusiasts.
I want to offer for trade a cooler that maybe the hardest of all to find. Only 1/2 dozen or so known in the community. That number based on those I've spoken with who have been collecting for several decades. Obviously a few more must be out there somewhere. Likely the rarest of the desirable picnic coolers. I've seen only 2 in my life and it did not even make it into Jeff Walters book probably because nobody knew they existed. That is to say,...enthusiasts he spoke with. Which was probably 3/4 of the community. Anyway It's an Atlas 18 Nesbitts. It's been restored. It's all there including the StarrX opener. It was a 7 or so or better prior to paint. I want to trade it straight up for something I don't have. I don't collect repainted stuff so I am willing to part with it. The ONLY cooler I'm willing to trade for is a Crush in the SupJr variety. Any condition. I'll trade up or down. PM or email me. Thank you I'll post pics if need be. Unfortunately I find that when I post pics on any site they end up being visible through a Google search which kind of bugs me. If you have what I want please reach out to me. This Nesbitts is harder to find but like I said I'll trade straight up or in any direction based on condition. Thnx again Biggy Title: Re: Very, very HTF cooler for trade. Holy Grail piece.

I've called and emailed several of my cooler people and I've only been able to confirm ownership and sightings of 4 of these Nesbitts. And I think one is double-count. That 4 includes the one in my pic. So like I said from the beginning,...the Atlas Nesbitts is almost impossible to find. One of my buddies that's been collecting picnic coolers for 30 plus years and has one-two of almost everything said he had never seen one. All this info is anecdotal but becoming "more than that" as I methodically contact everyone's contacts above and beyond my own. If anyone has one I'd buy it. If anyone has what I want I'd still trade it. Or pay cold hard $ for what I'm looking for. Don't wait till its gone. Eventually I'll be able to buy for $ what I am looking for and this Nesbitts will get "put away." Peace |
