I don't know what it is but I like it. That is cool looking. How much did you get it for if I may ask?

I only paid 50 $, but there is no motor. But I agree with you, it's a cool looking art deco style cooler.

I was fortunate enough to see one of these restored, and they have more chrome than a 59 Cadillac. Nice.
So far I have only seen this model available in Canada.

I may be way off but I keep thinking it's a Kelvinator?

Hello audiobeer,
I think you're right. A guy sent me an email yesterday and tell me it's from Kelvinator of Canada, model FSF12 (?) and was made during the 40's. Thanks for all the responses.

My thoughts are that the model is manufactured by the Kelvinator of Canada and is a FE-S-51. According to a photo of an ID Tag, the "S" designates "Special". Please keep in mind that this information is different than previously stated but may have changed from year to year...
I'm not sure where the paper label is located, but have you looked thoroughly inside and out of the cooler...?
I guess I need to get this model into the Soda Machines Section...

ok. I don't know who to talk to, however i have almost the exact model as the one shown. The difference is in the container that catches the bottle caps. It's a nob. My husband put a brand new compressor in it and redid the paint job on it. I'm actually looking at how much it is worth. Can anyone help.

I also forgot to mention that it's a Kelvinator of Canada Limited. WCT.1 Serial # 5118-1. London, Ontario.
