Metal ice chest

Found this at a thrift store last week for $15:

Painted it and made it look awesome this week:

Super happy with how it came out.

Nice vintage chest. Curious as to how long it keeps ice.

Don't know, my other old ones seem to work pretty good though I normally freeze water bottles instead of loose ice.

Nice Job! I like that of old stuff. Does it have the tray in it?

 

[hairy_apple]

Thanks. No, no tray. I'm not sure it ever had one, there are no marks inside that look like it ever had anything else in it.

I LOVE old stuff. 70% of the stuff in my house is 1950's or older. My shop is probably 90% 1940's and 50's. I just love old stuff. It's got so much cool factor, and 9 times out of 10 it's way better quality then newer stuff.

We inherited one of those. It was a Coca Cola model. Same design. It weighed a ****** ton empty!
Gave it to Good Will
Nice paint job though.
