This one just showed up. It was being used in an old store until recently. Still cools and shows “use”.
These have a copper tub, which I think is unusual, and due to use, the copper has stretched in the bottom so you can see the cooling coils. I doubt if it’s a restoration candidate due to the cost, but it’s a rock solid vintage cooler with battle scars for sure. I believe that it’s an Artkraft 50. Looks like the cooler on the front of Walters book. He doesn’t show this model in Pepsi, but does show it in generic Royal Crown.

Yes, Jim.
The weather was bad when it got here, so I haven’t been able to look for the actual I’d tag yet.
