Title: Rare Find.. Victor Cooler Grill
Post by: Funtronics on June 25, 2014, 01:12:04 pm
Curtis asked me to post this for him, as him and Larry are on a road trip picking up this rare Victor cooler grill. Gentleman found it and several other machines in a gully where they had been dumped years back. Always exciting to see finds like this.  :happydrinkers:

I bet this is his find of the year!!!


        This will certainly be a top contestant in SMC's "Find of the year" submissions this comming December.

        But the Jacobs 56 has also been in hiding, then several surfaced in the last few months. Maybe Curtis started something?   :hopefull:

Any chance there are any photos of this “As Found” in the gully/ditch... Bet that was an awesome sight to see...
