I picked one of those up a couple of years ago.  I think the added trim give it a bit more charachter than the Westy's.  Mine has the water circulator in the middle of the back side of the tank but I have seen others where it is off to the left.  Mine spent it's entire life on the General Store on Pelee Island in the middle of Lake Erie.  I bought it from the original owner's son.  Have not gotten the water circulator up and running yeat but it works great for parties with just ice and beverages!  I used it for both of my son's high school grad parties on hot August days and the pop was still ice cold the next day!

Great looking cooler. I think the chrome top and the large chrome trim really make them stand out.

The one I posted this morning has already sold.

Did you sail it back over to the main land ? lol

I work with a few people from the Island. Think I have been to that store, Mccormick General Store. We use to tie the ship up in scudder and spend the night. Of course back then collecting coke machines was most likely the furthest thing from my mind.

Great looking machine, I also agree about the trim.
