It's a BU standard ( Butt-Ugly)  :tounge:.. other than that , I'm drawing a blank. the grill looks like it was copied from a garden gate.

It's a Master size cooler can tell by the width of the lids... painted up right has a great Deco look to it...
Book says it's a harder model to find...

Lol I disagree, I think it's a nice looking cooler and I'm sure if the grill had the painted mesh it would look even better !

Thanks Eric, the book doesn't give any type of model number ?

Hey Mr. Jeff,
Your cooler’s official name is a ‘Westinghouse Master Ice’. In the picture, I don’t see any evidence that it was ‘Electric’. Its manufacturing date range is 1936, +/- 2 years, for sure! Good looking unit.
Hope this helps, have a good one.
Ted

Isn't that cooler what they call a Tennessee Cooler? Moondawg will know. Our late friend Gary had one and this looks like the model he had.

Just a tweakin' you is all.. :laugh:   I know some Westy's were made for them by the Cavalier corp down in Tennessee-way from what I recall...It could be one of those models.

       I believe it was as manufactured by Westinghouse, then modified slightly and marketed by Tennessee Furniture Manufacturing Company as Ray stated.
