Rescued This Orphan

[Train]

Son moved into a new house and this was in the back yard. Nobody wanted it including the previous owner so I took it home along with two sets of the lockers in the background.

 

[Sgreve32x]

Very nice. That is a great find.

 

[Outlawmws]

Great save!

 

[Laker]

Nice find.... Are the lockers made by "Penco Products" by any chance?

 

[Train]

Not sure, I'd have to go look. They all have keys as well as a loop to accommodate a pad lock.

be better if it was Coke, but you **** anyway!! nice score!

 

[NUTTSGT]

Damn, nice find.

 

[JasonW]

The stuff people leave behind. Must have thought if it wasn't Coke what was the point?! Great finds all round.

 

[James E]

Pretty cool.

By the way, you ****.

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Damn! I'd LOVE to have that. I'll admit it, I'm envious. Do you think you will restore it or what?

 

[Steevo]

That cooler is from the era of "Pepsi, for those who think young". Nice find.

 

[thdewey]

I think that that goes in the win column!

 

[djjsr]

Pretty neat! Good price.

I think it should be blue.

considering I am a Coke consumer it would be used as a garbage can

I saw one similar to that at an antique store yesterday.
Way worse condition than that for either 275.00 or 375.00.

 

[5lima30]

Way cool!

The plan is to restore it. It's in fair shape with a few small dents here and there. Going to try to clean off the rattle can black as the original blue is underneath. The raised logo has no dents in it. Now I need to find the coin mech, inside rails and a cap catcher. In one of those," I wonder" moments, I plugged it in. It cools down amazingly fast.

Hater!

 

[Dan in Pasadena]

Wow, it still works?! Were things like this powder coated in those days? Did it even exist or just heavy lead paint? I'm wondering if you could use steel wool or a solvent to get the spray paint then color sand and polish the original blue?

 

[rburke65]

Aaa said before, "you ****". Good for you....nice find!

WTF - doesn't anyone around there watch American Pickers or American Restoration?

I'm a Pepsi guy so I'd be all over that thing . . . . if it was free . . .

And to find it actually works - YOU **** . . .

nice find wish i had one !

It looks like the chilled water type with the bath and rails inside? Insert your dime and the gate would open allowing one bottle out. Us naughty type might use a bottle opener and a straw to sneak a drink. I said might!

 

[ddawg16]

Just want to give you another "You ****".....

Ok....I feel better now...sort of.......want to give it away? I'll pay shipping.

 

[becarsb]

Hater!

well, not a hater, but addicted to original

Doesn't appear to be a water bath, no drain hole. Pop for a dime, those were the days.
