Great either way!
Not like it's worth thousands. I would restore. Looks great now, would look awesome restored! Just an opinion though.

great find!!!! complete with sandwich tray. I cant read on there is it a progress cooler?

i'm sure others will chime in but i'd find out how much it's worth. it might devalue it if you fix it up. 

But, if you think you might just hold onto it, then fix that thing up!!!

Can't go wrong for $50.
How's the bottom? any rust?

I'll say, I paid 65 without the tray.
Mine is a little worn like yours, but I plan to bring it back

No rust at all on bottom , the sad part is the usual paint loss due to tossing it around in storage.

Saw one at an auction last month sale for $240.00.  Not saying that is the going price but 50 dollars excellent deal.  If I was keeping it I would paint and polish,  if I was going to sale it I would leave it like it is.
