Got this off a local CL ad today.
Guy said it was rusty, but I have seen much worse. There is no rust in the tub and a rubber drain hose that cannot be shut - may have helped keep it rust free.
Gaskets are exactly like the Westy Junior.

 It appears (to me) that it used to have legs or a base of some sort and they were cut off.
Would like to see a pic of something similar with a base or something. If anybody has something, I am all ears (or eyes).

          Are those separate compartments on each end, or just nifty drink holders?

That would be a killer piece restored. Like how the lid is recessed for gripping to open as well.

Thanks guys!
I definately want to restore it, but need to decide on what exactly to do.
First thoughts are to have some sort of base/stand fabricated. I have an idea in my head - I'll try to rough draw it up soon and submit it for everyone's review and input.
Pretty cool though for $75 - I think we all like the uncommon stuff.

What's the dimensions? Something like a coolerette stand would look great
