Vintage Coca-Cola bar-top cooler, c.1950s, manufactured by Victor Vending Company, model C-31, formica-top bar with condiment storage, over red enameled steel case with embossed and stenciled branding, chromed trim, equipped with two bottle openers, four black-painted roll-tops granting access to temperature controlled interior, fitted with removable netted dividers and racks, one side equipped with plumbing and a bar sink, accompanied by three sets of ketchup and mustard bottles, three retro menu jackets, and three napkin dispensers, cooling function observed operating, approx 41.5"h, 108.75"w, 36.5"d

06.24.25: As described the cooling function was observed to be operational, and the sink is equipped with plumbing, I note that the bar is structurally sound and stands sturdy, the later enameled finish is overall well-preserved, with a sparse occurrence of small typical nicks and flakes near edges commensurate with age and use, and some light spotting, the chromed metal elements also with some small dings/ dents associated with small nicks, mostly occurring at the interior side near roll-tops, as well as light patination/ oxidation and spotting, the formica bar-top with typical minor nicks/ flea bites at the edges, also with some old sticker residue that would benefit from a gentle cleaning, overall there a small number of spots with typical minor surface wear such as aforementioned nicks, as well as light abrasions and scuffs commensurate with age and use
