Title: Counter top cooler ?
Post by: Chedki on March 08, 2012, 03:06:24 pm
Does anybody know what this is and if this is a counter top cooler? What's the value on this? It has carry handles on both sides and has a bottle opener on the right side. Thanks for your input. BTW, it measures 25 x 18 and is 18 inches high.

        It's another cut down Junior. The countertop model is smaller.

Do you know what model this Junior is from? Just added another picture of the side with handle and bottle opener. If this has been cut down from a Junior, does that mean the handles were added on after it was manufactured?

the handles were  frankensteined after the chop. they look like they came off a garbage can. the juniors did not have handles.

nice way to sneak in a garbage can joke that may really be true, in all fairness they might be from some sort of
 foot locker or trunk

I would say more like from a old wash / laundry tub.

Either way, it has 2 bolts coming out of it like Frankenstein

I'm with Kilroy on this one.  I carried far to many of those steel trash cans to the curb and back as a kid in Detroit to not recognize those handles.  And of course, they weighed 200 pounds and it was up hill in both directions! :biggrin: 8) :biggrin:

In the snow. Barefoot.
Poin is, the handles were not a factory option on the Junior :)
