Jasmine,
Looks to be a Cavalier CD-22, produced in the late '50's.
It's misisng the bottle cap catchers on either end though, and big, a little over 6 ft long
Jeff Walters has it list for $1975.00 restored, $475.00 in average condition

I'd almost bet money on it being a Westinghouse model but one thing sticks out for me.  All of the Westinghouse chests I've seen had a divider between the two lids, this one doesn't.  Wish I could help more.  Where did you find it?

Never mind, just took a look at a pic of a c-22 and I bet Kilroy's right on this one.  Probably a C-22 after all.  Looks pretty nice!  So are you getting ready to hit up your hubby? :D

I'd like to have it. Once I finally get all the other machines out of my garage.

I may have a place for it or something like it.

Yep. I'd agree with a Cavalier CD22, notice the condensate tray with the "Ice Cold" embossed onto it, also (not that you can see it here) Cavaliers have three hindges per lid, while a Westinghouse uses only two per lid..

Kito where have you been? Was waiting for you to show up earlier.

It's in a back room of a garden nursery and he says it's been moved around the room a few
times looking for a final place to stay.

How hard is it to find Cavalier CD22 cap catchers. Even just 1.
