I found this ancient ice chest that had been set out for trash this morning. It's probably as old as me and probably older. I could sell it: for $150 - $200 or keep it. I like it so unless times get really hard I'm going to keep it. Or I could take it to the numerous social events we go to (yeah, right) so everybody raves over it. Choices, choices.

Nice find. The problem with many of the old metal pop boxes is that often the bottom is rusted though, which kills the value. That one looks to be in good shape.

I expected the bottom to be gone but it's in perfect condition. I'll get a high res shot of the logo tomorrow, zip them and upload them to my domain or dropbox.
