Title: Chest Cooler Value Post by: SodaShopNick on June 17, 2012, 03:53:35 pm Need some help with this one I saw at a local Flea Market today (see picture). Looks to be a Westinghouse 10, but it has two cap catchers and the other ones I have seen have one. I would like see if anyone can confirm the type and a general value. Overall it is in very nice condition with very little rust even inside and the owner claims it works (famous last words, I know).

This cooler has a spot for 4 capcatchers because of the butterfly lids. It the only Post War machine with Pre War lids.
They made them for about 2 years and than designed the WD-12. Same compressor, just configured to hold 2 more cases of soda. The capcatchers are usually always missing. They can bring close to $125-150 each at auction. I'm 99% complete with the restoration of one. I bought mine for $275.00. $800.00 no way! I wouldnt pay more that $425.00 I would kill for oney of those capcatchers. Often only one is seen because they are always missing.

Thanks for the detailed info. I knew $800 was too much, but I passed on it anyway. If it is there after a few more weekends I might make him an offer of about half.
