Just wanted to share my newest find. Its a A-8 Industrial Carton Cooler made in the late 30's. I have been hunting one of these for a while and finally found one. The only other one I found for sale the guy wanted $10,000 for. LOL laugh It was a nice original but it did end up bringing in 4500.00 at auction which was a more realistic price. This one was purchased at a yard sale by the sellers mother. I'm assuming she bought it for $19.97 since its written on the handle.Oo It completes the pair for me so I'm a little excited. I have the stand on way and missing parts being made. Next step will be restoration.

Great find. How heavy are those? Seems like it would not be fun to carry around for too long.

Ummm...I think the $19.97 was for the replacement handles back in the day! LOL. I think some of us might be a bit jealous!
