Thanks again Rob for helping out.
As mentioned, there's a good chance that I will be going your way in the next year so perhaps I can return the favour back out and home again when the time comes. To me, this is part of what the hobby is all about.

Safely home about an hour ago. Sure nice to be back in the warm Manitoba weather....far too much snow out there in Ontario.
Google maps shows a one way trip distance from my place to Bob's as being 2403 km, which theoretically is 4806 km round trip. Odometer showed 5067 so the side trips were only an extra 260 kms. That's not too bad for track discipline. Photos of the booty in the morning. Last edited by rob love; 27-10-16 at 14:57.

Wow that's quite the marathon round trip you did. Thanks again for being able to pickup those two coolers for me. I'm very happy with them and they will work out well for what I want to use them for.

You will have some restoration work on those. Some of the interior wood was pretty far gone, and the insulation almost looked like wool. I was surprised how heavy they were.
Glad someone is going to take the time to preserve a couple. The remainder have languished in the field for at least 40 years or more. Last edited by rob love; 02-11-16 at 16:30.

Funny thing about Jim is that when I was there he asked me if I wanted one of his company ball caps. What a crazy question....I am from the prairies. Those (and toques) are the only hats we know.
Then he asked me if I wanted one in camouflage........ Two new hats in the stable, the next thing he was offering me was a company jacket. I had to get out of there before he issued me a tow truck. Lots of hospitality out that way. My only regret was that I did not have more time to spend with everyone. The short hours of daylight just wouldn't allow it.

Insulated food containers
Quote:
I see that Rob Love found you two of these coolers/chilly bins/insulated food containers. They look like the things I have been searching for for some time in order to make a model involving them and mules. You will have noted those two big rings on one side which hook on to the hooks of a pack mule saddle! The actual outer containers appear to have disappeared on this side of the pond, though the inner food containers are still around. I have measured one of those so have a rough idea of the size, but I would be very grateful if you could measure one of yours and let me know the size so I can make an accurate model for my small scale mules.

I could get you originals cheap enough, but the postage would kill. Perhaps if someone has a container going from Canada to the UK I could possibly make something work out, but they almost felt too heavy to even mail. Jordan: Could you weigh one and let us know?

I don't want the actual containers; just the measurements! We corresponded earlier, but you seemed busy so I left it! Chris

Hi Chris
The 1941 dated container measures the following 20-3/4" wide 14-3/4" deep 16" high to bottom of lid The lid is 1-1/2" thick. Each hinge section 1-1/4" wide by 6" long. They are attached via a combination of slotted domed screws and hex bolts. They have also been leaded. I'm assuming to keep them sealed? The D rings are 2-3/4" wide. The clip holding them is 1-3/4" wide by 2-1/2" long. There is two D rings on the back panel only. The are riveted with 3 rivets. From the edge of the box to the outside edge of the clip it is 1-3/4". From the bottom of the box to bottom of the clip it is 10-3/4". There is a small data tag 2-3/4" x 1-1/2" riveted centrally on the lid A grab handle is riveted on each end of the box. The ring is 5-1/2" wide by 2-1/2". The bracket is 4-7/8" wide by approx 4" tall.

My apologies. I know at one point I actually measured them up and took a bunch of photos, but I guess I never followed through.
