Find of the week

[Pat Pixley]

Yeah!! I know this does not look that great, But
it was saved ,(plus Free)This was in a room that was
boarded up and plastered over. The New owner of the    building were cleaning it up and just tossed it in the dumpster. In a year or two you will never know how bad it was.

Wow, I love mystery rooms!  I've never heard of Hi-Klas.  What brand of cooler is it?

[halehouse]

Free! That's great, especially for free.  Kind of surprising it still has the lids.  How did you come across it?  Were you the one that actually pulled it from the dumpster?

[Creighton]

Good for you Pat to save one from the scrapper!! Looks like it is trying to walk :-)

AND THE ANSWER  CARNAC THE MAGNIFICENT

 This is a S&S 700  and Hi Klas was a Soda Brand
 in Michigan .

 A Friend of mine found it  and pulled it out.

The info on the 700 says they did not have metal inserts like the Glascocks.  So are signs painted on the side?

[Pat Pixley]

This could be a Quikold Model A They had the inserts.  '>

That's cool to have friends like that!
With more friends like this, you could just stay home and wait for deliveries...

Unusual cooler! I don't think it's S&S or Quikold for that matter. I'm sure you've looked for any sign of an ID tag...?

I was looking at literature for 2 models I'll be listing soon from J. Moss Company; they manufactured two models in what appears to be the late 30's...
With this said, it could be some obscure manufacturer/model...

Very nice find none the less!

Nice find!! Pat, It looks like a Bireley's cooler that I just missed out on buying but I will be restoring for the new owner. I'll post pictures when it reaches my shop.
