Really interested in finding a little about this piece, If its worth the investment and restoring this item. Does anyone know exactly what it is and How much its worth now, and after restoring?

Westinghouse Master, question about restoring is depends, if you want it for yourself the yes. But to restore and make a profit depends on what you can do (ie, paint, take out dents fix rusted areas) or what someone else is going to charge. Any missing parts, is the cap catcher and the bottle opener there? Original cap catchers are hard to find and are not cheap. Last one on ebay went for $170. Also painting the embossed lettering usually has to be done by someone who specializes in it. Price as is hard to tell how much is missing and is there any place that is rusted through.

I just bought a chest exactly like yours. does yours have "coca cola" embossed on the underside of the doors? there is a website i found called funtronics that offers replacement parts for these chest. I was wondering about the doors about the embossed letters, never seen a chest with doors like that
