Mexican Westinghouse Jr.

Hey all ~
I spotted this last night on CL, and was curious what a reasonable offer would be on something like this.  I'm not sure I want to travel 5-6 hours each way to get this one, but could use your opinions as I may hopefully find some of these closer to home in the near future.  Thanks!

I missed one about a year ago for 700 bucks. I would drive the 5-6 hours for that cooler if the price is right.

That's a really interesting piece. I remember seeing a lot of stuff from Mexico in the late eighties and early nineties. I would love to have a french cooler from Canada. I think it would make an interesting addition to the collection.

Check out this one! It is a mexican cooler. It has 8 embossed Pepsi bottle caps and 8 embossed pepsi cola slogans. It is being restored now and then I am going to sell it. Looks like a standard.

We need to see some larger photos of that one...

That Pepsi Cooler looks really neat. Can you post some larger photos? Where did you find it? Great find!!

Here are some more pics. I found this in Dallas. It is a Mexican cooler and has cool embossing all over it. Not sure who made it. I am getting it restored now and will sell it off.

Brian,
Curious as to what makes it a Mexican Cooler??? was it just found in Mexico or are there some markings on it usually the mexican's say "Tome" instead of Drink or something like that? didn't see any of those markings..

Just curiuos?  still a great find/// do you know a manufacture yet? sure looks like as lider with a westinghouse lid?

Of course I've seen some Cars in Mexico that where made up with all sorts of parts as well??? some real cool chevy/Ford/Dodge/Yugo Pickups with Isuzo headlights, Honda doors and a GMC motor with Mazda Drive trains... HMMMM
