Title: Picture of Half Junior and other Westy Coolers
Post by: SSmoothie on July 12, 2012, 11:23:31 pm
My Half Junior came in today. It came missing the handles, they plated them off and add some others but I removed them. They add wood legs which I haven't had time to take off. But other than that it in good shape.

And here is a picture that is probably rare, to bad my Standard had its legs cut off or it would be a full set. Load them up in the truck and having the Junior and the Half Junior repainted.

Nice lineup! I'd fill the holes and forget about handles. Looks a lot better without.

Nice collection, Now all you need is a Westinghouse Giant in your lineup.

Nice coolers... the standard size Coke is one of my all time favorites... restore and wait for the handles... they'll show up...
you have enough folks on hear to keep an eye out for you. Will be a nice line up!

     Cool pictures and nice truck!

As rare as those half juniors are, I doubt you will find them at the swap meet:biggrin:

Maybe a set of recessed handles could be purchased such as those used on toolboxes?

Nice lineup!!  I like the "rock star" poses you put them in... looks like an album cover :smile:

Might find the handles in a box under a table at a swap meet that has nothing to do with these machine. :glare: :tounge: :laugh:

Thanks guys, I think that they might have gone with some generic handle from some other manufacture back in the day, I wouldn't think Westinghouse or Coca Cola would spend time to make them.

I going to hold off on restoring the Half Junior and clean it up. See what it looks like.
