VTG Kampkold Metal Ice Chest Cooler Tray Turquoise Camping RV Airstream 50s Read. This piece would be so cool as a restoration. The bottom has a lot of rust spots on it and is rusting out pretty good. There is rust on the rest of it, but I think it could be restored. These are super rare and they’re very old.
