Well, I got very lucky again this morning, I woke up and was checking out the antiques section of Craigslist and this Squirt cooler was on there for $30, 5 miles from my house.  I emailed and got a response back and just went and picked it up.  The woman bought it 20 years ago and had plans to turn it into a planter  darn  There are some people true to their word, she said she had about 50 emails for it and mine was the first so I got it.

Very little rust on it, the lid was dented in but a quick pull and it popped right back into shape.

If you turn it into a planter, make sure to drill holes into the bottom so water can drain out. That's what I do with mine.
