Very, very HTF cooler for trade. Holy Grail piece. Nesbitts Atlas 18 mint.

Fellow enthusiasts.
I want to offer for trade a cooler that maybe the hardest of all to find.
Only 1/2 dozen or so known in the community. That number based on those I've spoken with who have been collecting for several decades. Obviously a few more must be out there somewhere.
Likely the rarest of the desirable picnic coolers. I've seen only 2 in my life and it did not even make it into Jeff Walters book probably because nobody knew they existed. That is to say,...enthusiasts he spoke with.
Which was probably 3/4 of the community.
Anyway
It's an Atlas 18 Nesbitts.
It's been restored. It's all there including the StarrX opener.
It was a 7 or so or better prior to paint.
I want to trade it straight up for something I don't have.
I don't collect repainted stuff so I am willing to part with it.
The ONLY cooler I'm willing to trade for is a Crush in the SupJr variety.
Any condition.
I'll trade up or down.
PM or email me.
Thank you
I'll post pics if need be.
Unfortunately I find that when I post pics on any site they end up being visible through a Google search which kind of bugs me.
If you have what I want please reach out to me.
This Nesbitts is harder to find but like I said I'll trade straight up or in any direction based on condition.
Thnx again

Peeps
I've called and emailed several of my cooler people and I've only been able to confirm ownership and sightings of 4 of these Nesbitts. And I think one is double-count. That 4 includes the one in my pic.
So like I said from the beginning,...the Atlas Nesbitts is almost impossible to find.
One of my buddies that's been collecting picnic coolers for 30 plus years and has one-two of almost everything said he had never seen one.
All this info is anecdotal but becoming "more than that" as I methodically contact everyone's contacts above and beyond my own.
If anyone has one I'd buy it.
If anyone has what I want I'd still trade it. Or pay cold hard $ for what I'm looking for.
Don't wait till its gone.
Eventually I'll be able to buy for $ what I am looking for and this Nesbitts will get "put away."
Peace
