I'm not ready to give up yet. Note the DRINK position, the shorter distance from the first C's tail to the C in Cola, the grommets for the cap catcher are higher up, the lid hinges, and it is slightly deeper than my other Jr's.
Yes I was concerned with the one uneven bottom but that could have been from picking up and putting down damage over the past 75 years or so.
There is a restored on on eBay that I am comparing too as well.

Here's some pics I found of a half cooler... needs a little TLC... They say the measurements are 12"x14"x25" this one had the inset handle but they are missing.
Hard to find any good images.. but I'm sure someone has one in their collection here. Note the smaller embossing on the front and back.

Agree with Eric. His pics look like the true Half Juniors I've seen.
I have seen at least two different Westy Junior versions.
Looks to be half of a Junior.... down

I also agree. I've had a few of the juniors cut in half, with handles added sometimes.

The real "Half Junior" is 1/2 as wide as well and made that way. Once you've seen or had one, it'll be obvious.

You still got a cap catcher, lid with hinges, a handle, plus a opener.. Those pieces add up!
