Vintage Igloo Galvanized Metal 10 Gallon Water Cooler RARE EARLY/OLDER MODEL. Looks to be from the early 1950’s, becuase Igloo started to use plastic parts and pieces in 1961. Since this one has NO PLASTIC its most likely from the early 1950’s. Some scuffs and marks. Couple small indents on backside. Front side still looks nice. See photos as they are a part of the total description. Was completely filled with water. It holds liquids and pour spout works great. This Igloo Water Cooler looks to be the older and earlier versions, that DONT HAVE ANY PLASTIC. This Cooler is all Metal, unlike the lower quality, less rare versions that have little plastic pour spouts and plastic internal Lids etc. This is the older all metal and much more collectable version.

The Vintage Military Style Green 1940s Galvanized Water Cooler is a unique and nostalgic piece perfect for camping and hiking adventures. & The color is a green – then Gray depending on the light. Looked green when I picked it up at the estate, looks gray in my buildings soft lights, looks more green under light box white light.. I aim to please & don’t want to be misleading.. This is the only one of these in this size I have seen nor could I find one ANYWHERE online like it, other than a smaller version.. My antique appraiser does believe it to be military use. World War 2 era. I will take outside photos in natural light when it stops raining. This antique water cooler, with a capacity of 3-5 gallons, exudes a retro charm with its military-inspired design. Often used on railroads as well. This one was different from any we found searching due to the hardware attached. & Also Google images search says 3 gallon but it’s the size of a 5 gallon bucket.. Again, I will go outside & fill with gallons of water to get the exact capacity as soon as the rains give us a break. The base portion that holds the water (cooler) tank, is over 14 in tall. The entire piece is a little over 17 inches tall. Approximate width is 1 foot. The vintage muted green color adds a touch of vintage authenticity, making it a stylish addition to any camping set-up. Its durable galvanized construction ensures longevity and reliable use for outdoor activities. Ask any questions prior please and thank you. See our many other estate finds.. And as with many of our estate items, you may always present an offer to the heirs & I will let you know what they accept.

This is an extremely difficult to find 7 gallon arctic boy cooler. This in great shape with only a small dent on the lid and one flattened edge. The plastic on the handles is aging off and there are a few small chips on the inside.
