Estimated make/year/value of this Coke Cooler

[Eric]

Lids are worth around $100... an original cap catcher will bring $75+
but it missing the compressor and items... I'm guessing $200? buff it, keep it and use it
great on the deck/patio for holding cold beverages during BBQs!

How does one go about finding/fabricating the rubber seal?

I'm not sure if Funtronics or Soda Jerk works sell a repro gasket for this cooler? but worth a phone call.. worse case scenaranio, I'm sure something similiar could be found..
but then again if your not going to have a refrideration unit inside the chest, the seal doesn't mean much anyway.. as you'd just be filling with ice and using it for parties.. it' not like your trying to "Seal" in cool air..

Its really worth what someone is willing to pay. But I would say $175 to $250 range if the lids are good and not rusted out.

If the seal could be had for cheap I will snag it as I prolly am not keeping it. I like the look and all but don't have room. In the next week or 2 if the weather breaks a bit I will see how the paint will clean up, if it looks much better I will take some "after" photos. Casters need some attention (maybe just oil or a touch of grease?) as they don't roll worth a darn, just squeal really loud and drag a bit but no rust. Neat looking piece tho.

I would definitely keep it, the original lids look like their in good condition which is usually hard to find. Any of these that I have seen have the lids rotted to almost nothing!
