It sounds like you may have a Cavalier Master Cooler. The serial number tag, as I recall, is located on the back left-hand side of the cooler right before the cooler "opens" up to store the refrigeration or empties area.
It's possible that yours is/was a refrigerated model that had the system taken out years ago (they weigh a ton and are belt driven)..on the back right, look for an indentation on the cooler top where a refrigeration line used to go in. If you don't have one, then it was an ice model only.
Sometimes inside the stainless steel cooler, there is a stamp that says something like TN 41-2 or TN 2-41 (cannot remember). I believe this would mean Tennesee Feb. 1941. The other guys can correct me if I am wrong. Finally, if your cooler has a "bowed out" look..then it post WW2, and if you have a trademark inside the tail of the first C in Coca Cola..then it is pre-1941..hope this helps..again, always nice to post a picture!!!!
