I responded to a Craigslist ad for a slider and found out the guy had this cooler he was also looking to sell...needless to say, I left the slider behind and picked this up. It's embossed on three sides. You can find out more about it on page 307 of Jeff Walter's book ( thanks to Jared for findng it in the book for me).

Nice... Everything including the bottles are embossed on that.... Wonder if that company embossed any other brand.
Are you going to restore it or leave it original/as is... looks to be in pretty good shape.

       All the years I have scanned that book and never noticed that. Very rare indeed!
       We all know how that embossing pops when restored, but this cooler is nicer than the one in Jeff's book. Tough call.
       Interesting that with so few of these coolers made, this one has a different door latch system than the one in the book.

If I keep it, I would leave it alone...it's still got enough color to look good. The inside liner has some surface rust, but nothing too bad. The book has the correct measurements :  32" high by 37.5" wide by 27" deep.
