KAMPKOLD BLUE BLACK GRANITEWARE VINTAGE COOLER ICECHEST

WOW, HERE IS SOMETHING YOU DON'T SEE EVERYDAY AND YOU MAY NOT SEE ANOTHER ONE OF THESE FOR YEARS. IT IS A KAMPKOLD COOLER MADE BY THE AMERICAN GAS COMPANY DIVISION OF QUEEN STOVE WORKS CO OF ALBERT LEA, MN. THIS ITEM IS REALLY QUITE AWESOME IN LOOKS. IT HAS A BLUE AND BLACK GRANITEWARE LIKE SURFACE THAT HAS WHITE SWIRL MARKS THROUGHOUT. THE COOLER ITSELF IS STILL IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION FOR OPERATION. THE SEALS APPEAR TO BE GOOD. THE INTERIOR IS MADE OF GALVANIZED METAL AND DOES HAVE SOME SIGNS OF USE, BUT NO INTERIOR RUSTING THAT WE CAN SEE OTHER THAN THE DRAIN PLUG AREA BEING A LITTLE CORRODED. THE COOLER HAS BUILT-IN FOLD DOWN HANDLES THAT HAVE THE SAME BLUE GRANITEWARE LOOK AND THE ONE SIDE HAS A GRANITEWARE BOTTLE OPENER. IT HAS A LATCH ASSEMBLY ON TWO SIDES TO HOLD THE LID DOWN TIGHT. WHEN OPENED, THE LID IS ON TWO SIDE HINGES THAT HOLD THE LID UPRIGHT SO THAT YOU CAN EASILY LEAVE THE COOLER LIKE THAT FOR QUICK ACCESS TO COLD DRINKS, OR YOU CAN CLOSE IT AND KEEP THE DRINKS COOL WITHOUT THE NEED TO SNAP DOWN THE TOP. THIS ITEM DOES HAVE ONE SMALL DENT ON THE BACK SIDE THAT IS ABOUT 1/4" DEEP AROUND THE RIM FROM SOMEONE PROBABLY SITTING ON THE SIDE OF THE COOLER AS A CHAIR. STILL THE DENT DOES NOT AFFECT THE SEALS FROM SEALING. THERE ARE SOME CHIPS ON THE EXTERIOR WITH A LITTLE RUSTING AND WE HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PICTURES SO PLEASE CHECK THEM OUT. THERE IS A WHITE SCUFF ON THE ONE CORNER OF THE LID WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT RUB OUT. THERE IS ALSO SOME DINGS FROM HANDLING ON THE TOP AND THIS ONLY ADDS "CHARACTER" TO THE PIECE. PLEASE TAKE A CLOSE LOOK BECAUSE YOU ARE BUYING THIS ITEM AS A DISPLAY PIECE. STILL IT WOULD BE THE TALK OF THE FAMILY REUNION OR COMPANY PICNIC WHEN YOU BRING THIS BABY OUT! BEFORE USING, THERE WILL NEED TO BE A NEW GASKET MADE OR BOUGHT FOR THE VERY BOTTOM FLANGE AROUND THE EXTERIOR DRAIN PLUG BECAUSE IT IS LEAKING CURRENTLY. PLUMBERS PUTTY MAY DO THE TRICK AS WELL. (SEE THE COMMENTS WE MADE TO A GREAT QUESTION POSTED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS LISTING). GET THIS COOLER FOR A GREAT STARTING PRICE. IT WEIGHS 34 LBS UNPACKED, SO SHIPPING WILL BE EXPENSIVE AND WE RECOMMEND UPS GROUND SHIPPING!

ALL INTERNATIONAL SALES ARE SOLD "AS IS" WITH NO RETURNS FOR INTERNATIONAL SALES ACCEPTED FOR ANY REASON! ALSO, WE CAN NEVER SHIP INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK US FOR THAT RATE! (IT IS UNINSURABLE AND UNTRACEABLE) PAYPAL'S REQUIREMENTS KEEP US FROM OFFERING FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL.

PA RESIDENTS MUST PAY 6% SALES TAX!

WE ONLY ACCEPT PAYMENTS VIA PAYPAL. WHEN YOUR ELECTRONIC PAYMENT IS RECEIVED, WE WILL TRY TO SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY (EXCLUDING HOLIDAYS, SATURDAYS, AND SUNDAYS).

FIRST OF ALL, IF YOU WIN AND ORDER PARCEL POST OR UPS GROUND AS YOUR METHOD OF SHIPMENT, DO NOT BLAME US FOR A LATE DELIVERY. WE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY ALWAYS. IF WE CAN NOT SHIP THE NEXT BUSINESS DAY, WE WILL NOTIFY YOU AND TELL YOU WHY! SO PLEASE DON'T LEAVE A FEEDBACK THAT SAYS SLOW SHIPPING UNLESS YOU KNOW ALL THE FACTS! WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE POSTAL SERVICE OR UPS SO DON'T BLAME US FOR THEIR INEFFICIENCIES! THAT BEING SAID:

IF YOU HAVE SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS SUCH AS HOLDING AN ITEM TO SHIP OR SHIP TO AN ALTERNATE ADDRESS, OR EVEN SPECIAL PACKAGING INSTRUCTIONS, PLEASE USE THE "CONTACT SELLER FORM" AS WELL AS OTHER AREAS WITHIN EBAY TO COMMUNICATE THIS. ONLY IF THE CONTACT SELLER MESSAGE IS DONE SO THAT WE RECEIVE A SEPARATE MESSAGE REGARDING SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS WILL WE BE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOT FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS. MANY TIMES THE INFORMATION ENTERED IN EBAY OR PAYPAL IS NOT RECEIVED CAUSING HARDSHIP FOR BOTH US AND THE BUYER. WE WANT YOU TO BE SATISFIED, BUT PLEASE COMMUNICATE ANY SPECIAL NEEDS TO US AT THE TIME YOU PURCHASE VIA THE CONTACT SELLER FORM! WE ONLY SHIP TO CONFIRMED ADDRESSES IN PAYPAL AND WILL NOT SHIP UNTIL WE RECEIVE A CONFIRMING EMAIL FROM THE BUYER'S PAYPAL EMAIL ID VERIFYING THE SHIPPING ADDRESS IF IT SHOWS AN UNCONFIRMED STATUS.

WE TAKE A GREAT DEAL OF PRIDE IN OUR SHIPPING AND HANDLINGCHARGES. WE CHARGE A $3.00 HANDLING CHARGE ON ALL DOMESTIC ORDERS TO COVER PACKAGING AND SHIPPING SUPPLIES AND TRANSPORTATION TO A LOCAL CARRIER. THIS ALSO INCLUDES INSURANCE FOR THE FIRST $50.00 FOR INTERNATIONAL ORDERS, WE CHARGE $2.75 HANDLING FOR PACKAGING AND SHIPPING SUPPLIES AS WELL AS TRANSPORTATION AND THE ADDITIONAL CUSTOMS PAPERWORK BUT DOES NOT INCLUDE REQUIRED INSURANCE.

PLEASE NOTE, THE RATES USED IN THIS CALCULATOR ARE NOT INCLUSIVE OF FLAT RATE UNLESS IT SPECIFICALLY OFFERS IT BECAUSE OF THE PENALTY FOR THOSE WHO ARE CLOSER TO US. OTHER THAN YOU REQUESTING AN ITEM BE INVOICED FOR FLAT RATE SHIPPING, ALL SHIPPING COSTS ARE NON NEGOTIABLE AND ARE AS STATED.

PLEASE TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT INSURANCE GOES UP WITH VALUE SO YOUR SHIPPING MAY CHANGE BETWEEN THE TIME YOU BID AND THE TIME YOU WIN. ALL RATES ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL.

WE ASK THAT YOU BE FAIR IN REALIZING OUR SHIPPING CHARGES ARE REASONABLE WHEN YOU FILL OUT THE STAR RATING SYSTEM AND NOT PENALIZE US BECAUSE YOU THINK A $3.00 HANDLING CHARGE WHICH INCLUDES REQUIRED INSURANCE FOR THE FIRST $50.00 IS EXCESSIVE. LOOK AROUND AT OTHER RETAIL ESTABLISHMENTS AND THEIR HANDLING CHARGES. TYPICALLY A $2.95 HANDLING CHARGE PER ORDER IS WHAT MOST ON-LINE RETAILERS ASSESS PER ORDER AND INSURANCE IS ALWAYS EXTRA. WE ARE ONLY CHARGING THE HANDLING CHARGE WE DO TO COVER OUR PACKAGING AND SHIPPING SUPPLIES WHICH COST US A LOT OF MONEY. WE ALSO MAKE A DAILY TRIP TO THE POST OFFICE AND UPS TO ENSURE ITEMS ARE SHIPPED IN A TIMELY MANNER.

DO ?NOT? PLACE A BID WITHOUT FIRST CHECKING ON THE SHIPPING TO YOUR AREA. WE WILL NOT LOWER THE SHIPPING PRICE UNLESS WE HAVE MADE A MISTAKE WITH THE WEIGHT OR SIZE. THERE IS NEVER A GOOD REASON TO LEAVE BAD FEEDBACK FOR YOU FEELING YOU PAID TOO HIGH OF A PRICE ON SHIPPING. YOU SHOULD KNOW THE SHIPPING PRICE BEFORE YOU PLACE THE FIRST BID. USE THE CALCULATOR BELOW. WE ARE VERY HONEST ABOUT OUR SHIPPING PRICES. WE DO NOT JUST GUESS ON THE WEIGHT. WE ACTUALLY WEIGH THE ITEM FIRST BEFORE WE FIGURE OUT THE SHIPPING.

WE DO ADD REQUIRED INSURANCE ON MOST OF OUR ITEMS AND COVER IT FOR THE FIRST $50.00 FOR POSTAL DELIVERY AND FIRST $100 FOR UPS. WE ALWAYS REQUIRE INSURANCE ON ANY ITEM THAT WILL BREAK EASY, ALL GLASS ITEMS, AND HIGH VALUE ITEMS.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SEND ANY ITEM FEDEX GROUND IF THE ITEM AFTER BEING PAID FOR WEIGHS MORE THAN WHAT WE EXPECTED OR HAS GONE OVERSIZE. WE WILL HOWEVER LET YOU KNOW WHEN AND IF WE HAVE SENT ANY ITEM VIA FEDEX GROUND AND THE REASON FOR DOING SO!

WE WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND BIDDING ON OUR AUCTIONS. WE APPRECIATE EVERY ONE OF OUR CUSTOMERS AND WE WILL WORK WITH YOU TO MAKE SURE YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR PURCHASE.

WE TRY HARD TO DESCRIBE OUR ITEMS AS HONESTLY AS WE CAN, BUT WE ARE HUMAN AND MAY MISS SOMETHING. WHEN YOUR ITEM(S) ARRIVES AND YOU ARE NOT HAPPY. JUST EMAIL US AND WE WILL BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU ON THE PROBLEM.

BID IF YOU ARE NOT 100 PERCENT SURE THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT. FEEL FREE TO ASK ANY QUESTION BEFORE YOU PLACE A BID. DO NOT BID AN ITEM TOO HIGH THEN COMPLAIN ON THE PRICE. WE ARE NOT THERE PLACING THE BID FOR YOU. GO ONLY AS HIGH ON A BID THAT YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE PAYING. DO NOT OVERBID THEN NOT PAY BECAUSE THE PRICE IS TOO HIGH.
