Title: Identity of Progress cooler Post by: MaineT on December 21, 2012, 07:48:31 pm Ok, so I'm off buying a Vendo 81d this afternoon and she did the worst possible counter-offer I've ever seen. She countered with a price just over my low offer ($2000 less then her asking price!!) and says she will throw in this cooler. It has Progress on it but is not in the book. It kind of looks like an A50 but the lid hold down is different and it has a top handle. Any ideas what this throw in is?

A little surface rust, but not too bad. would consider trading for a cronstroms that I may need!!! |
