I found this Advance Cigarette Dispenser at the now defunct(?) Hershey Gameroom Show about 2 years ago. It was only the front shell, I had to buy another unit to get all the parts on this one.

The decals are original, I just repainted it around them. The soldier is pushing war bonds. I really liked it, seems rare?

Anybody know where I might get the window piece I have pictured? I had to make my own version which doesn't look too original.

Did a book of matches come out of the upper window? I have the same machine that vends candy out the bottom hole. Mine doesn't have the upper window. Just curious.

Ditto... I have a Hershey Candy Bar Dispenser without the upper hole.

I have seen lots of these machines on Ebay, Condoms, Candy alsorts. Never seen the hole though.

Isn't the hole just a product window so the buyer can see it is not empty?
I think that is what cormy is referring to.

Tom, That makes sense. I have two of these vendors with no window.

Yes I think that's what its for. I had a pack of Luckies in the machine behind the window but they got misplaced during the move. Had a small piece of glass cut , found a flat metal peice with a approximate window size and riveted it on. Would rather have an original piece.
