Not exactly soda related but I thought it was cool. Thin tin sides and galvanized tub.

Great shape... doesn't look like it was used much... I like the one Glen painted up also... good for filling with ice and your favorite beverage.
nice score.

         I got mine from Terry a member here (Sodaworks) over 15 years ago.
         I heard that the Ideal company started out as a washtub maker, then expanded into coolers.

FYI for those who don't know, As Cormy stated above...the "coolers" being shown are actually re-purposed laundry tubs.

Interesting...I was wondering if there was a connection between the Ideal wash tub and Slider...
