I came across this old westinghouse coca cole cooler but have not been able to find out much about. looks really nice so i figured there is probably some kinda of story to it if anyone know about them.
Looks like you have a Cavalier 6-case Master from the late 40's - early 50's. It was the first electrified 6 case cooler built by Cavalier, and it used chilled circulated water to cool the contents. Fairly common cooler. Probably worth a few hundred in this condition.
the motor for it had to be replaced but the replacement was to tall so another case was fabricated to fit .
I have one of these that was in my parents store they used to run. My mom said they bought it new in 1950. I'm 56 years old and remember quite a few old coke
machine but not one that was water cooled. I took it out of storage maybe 15 years ago and got it running and it worked well but needs a little work. It has
6 cents on the lid. Always wondered what it was worth. This is the first time I have ever seen one just like it.
