Wow, I have never seen anything like that before - looks like a modified vending machine!  Do you have a picture from the front - so we can see the inside?  :drinkers:

It was owned by the Rochester bottling company and was probably used in a store.My father aquired it several years ago and had it stored in his garage.I know its pretty rare.The plexiglass is out on one side,but that can be replaced.I'm going to list it on ebay soon.
