Yes sir! Saw this already and am talking to the owner about it. Would love to have it. It is cool looking, but not sure it is original. Looks to be painted on, but when? Maybe not as old as it seems? Not sure, I like it though and trying to get it!

Bad news for me, now the guy does not want to sell it and wants to let the bidding go. Oh well, can win them all. Hope I still win, but people are driving up the price as of late on Ebay. Sometimes, it is not worth it. The best way to find machines and coolers, is through people that are on here! Wow, he have such a great group of people on this site!

I think it was. I think this is a old machine, with a great paint job. Not an original machine by any means. Heavy too! Over 400 pounds.

Well 400 pounds is just wrong, that's more than a complete
vending machine.

       That is a cool little freezer compartment, I'm wondering
how they get the ice cubes out of those aluminum ice trays?

        The graphics are so cool.........I think this really belongs
in Brian's garage (or storage unit)  :happydrinkers:

Graphic on the side is from their old 2 sided flange (We repro'd  that one)
the art on the from is from an embossed tin sign from the early 40s.
never new them to make decals... I'm NOT saying they are not real... I just know the art.
Personally I think this is a little old fridge someone decorated.....

Yea, if it goes low, I will get it. I am bidding on it. If it goes high, I am out. Maybe it was a senior managers office cooler at 7up? Only thing I can think of? I have seen the sign on the front before. I saw an original of that sell for about $125 a few weeks ago.
