Title: New Find A-8 Industrial Carton Cooler Post by: sc1101 on March 17, 2016, 07:49:28 am Just wanted to share my newest find. Its a A-8 Industrial Carton Cooler made in the late 30's. I have been hunting one of these for a while and finally found one. The only other one I found for sale the guy wanted $10,000 for. LOL :laugh: It was a nice original but it did end up bringing in 4500.00 at auction which was a more realistic price. This one was purchased at a yard sale by the sellers mother. I'm assuming she bought it for $19.97 since its written on the handle.:Oo: It completes the pair for me so I'm a little excited. I have the stand on way and missing parts being made. Next step will be restoration.

Did the lady buy to flip or were they collectors too? Title: Re: New Find A-8 Industrial Carton Cooler Post by: ajf5577 on March 17, 2016, 09:40:25 am 19.97 sounds like it was on sale at Walmart :Oo:

Title: Re: New Find A-8 Industrial Carton Cooler Post by: pinballdude on March 17, 2016, 12:55:22 pm Ummm...I think the $19.97 was for the replacement handles back in the day! LOL. I think some of us might be a bit jealous!

Is the stand coming from Dennis...? I wish I was able to purchase the one at the Auction, but as I said when we spoke... There's always someone with deeper pockets! Congrats on the new addition! Title: Re: New Find A-8 Industrial Carton Cooler Post by: sc1101 on March 18, 2016, 08:51:47 am Thanks All! I don't believe she bought it to flip it. Her son found it in the garage and decided to sell it for her. I think she bought it years earlier.
John, You're more then welcome to come over anytime your out this way. Jim, Yes Dennis is sending me the stand I'm just lucky that he has one available. Not that they are hot sellers but at least I don't have to do all the leg work. You are right on with that comment. I've had it happen to me many times.
