Can someone identify this cooler. I'm not interested in buying it, just saw it on Craig's List and so far haven't been able to identify it, doesn't look quite right??.

It's a Vendo V-59.

Big beastie...Spin Top.  Basically a coin-op top on a Westy cooler.

Oh...by the way.   I had a slightly different version of the V-59 (below).  The nicest original machine I've owned:

Thanks for the info.

That's a great looking original you have.  I think the one on CL is a little too far gone to ever look like yours.  I've been hunting things I can restore after I retire in June. I have a couple of uprights, but I really like the coolers and the embossed lettering.

The 59 is a big heavy beastie. If you are looking for a spin-top to restore I would
focus on the 23 Deluxe.  Much more manageable size for home. Just my .02
