Title: My first find in a while
Post by: Eric on January 16, 2011, 06:52:00 pm
After I visted with Joey at the Gas & Oil Show I went “Hunting” too... found this in a antique/junk store in a side room
this is a image from in the wild.. will post better picks later... Very nice original paint still glossy... no dents,just some
scuffs and scratches... Gonna leave as is.

It works and gets cold but I need to replace the cord... brittle...
Ha!...I'll probably just set it by my others and just look at it....
don't use any of them.... just the coolers...
