Seller says it is from the 60's - not sure what to think as I've never seen anything like it.
I won't be bidding with $1499 and the reserve not met.

 There is one in a little bar on the west side of Lansing , a bunch of us guy's stopped there
for a sandwish and a beer last year  and I spotted that cooled behind the bar and it was being used for the redbull and some other energy drinks, I thought it was coolest thing I saw.

Do you remember how much they went for?
Are they really from the 60's?

I do remember they were actually from the 50's , he had two , one complete & already sandblasted & one for parts. I'm diggin' through my archives as we "speak" , the inside shelves spin to allow 360-degree access to all of the items on the shelves,

I remember seeing one for sale before.  It was probably the same one JohnieG is referring to.  This one is a little out of my price range though.  But it gets a 10 on the cool scale.

This one looks like the one that Starbillias ( not sure on the spelling ) in downtown Disney in Fl. had for sale, I'm sure it's the one 10K I think they wanted for it. It was finished to look like a Coke bottle.
