I was digging around in the back of the warehouse the other day and took some shots of some old stuff I found...

1947 National Grip Meter

Still works and vends fine.

Early 50's Coan MFG. Snack Machine (roundtop)

While this needs paint badly and is missing the stand it is still an amazing machine. When you spin the dial on the bottom right it has an up down revolving motion for selection. The motion is still flawless and smooth as the day it was made. Notice the last permit was for tobacco and dated Nov. of 1958. Does anyone know how I could locate the original style stand or even a reproduction? I might take this on as a resto project.:cool:
 
I would love to have a snack machine like that!

I've been looking at the Stoners. GL with your restore! Take pics. :)
 
The U-select it machine is pretty cool. I've got the square top version. Bases are usually missing as these can also be wall mounted. There is a guy that makes repop bases.. Curtis Kauffman of Memory Lane Restorations.. You can send him an email at [email protected] . I'm not sure of the cost, but does beautiful work.
