Hey Guys,
Have come across this thing that looks like an older cooler, but can't quite make out the embossing on front since it's been repainted over. Any ideas as to what it might be? Is it worth getting, if so, how much should I pay for it? Thanks.
Ken

Appears as though the embossing starts with an "S". |

Depends highly on what brand it is and if it is an original cooler. I say that because I've never seen one before.
Appears to be an ice only cooler.
If it is not a hack job or fantasy piece, then $300-$400 wouldn't be out of line IMO

I was rather hoping that you might recognize it. You suppose it may be a rare one? What should I look for to determine that it's real or not?

An ID tag would help! Any signs of alterations (i.e. welding in the embossing)
Just remember rare does not always mean collectible or valuable.

I am really hung on what the embossing could be on this cooler.
I can almost see a "Q" like shape for the overall outline, but I can't find an example with that shape.
Let us know what it is....

The embossed 1st letter is a script "g"...(Grapette)...I reversed the images colors & it brought the embossing out enough to make it out ..  lousy low-res pictures! |
